Integrate with QuickBooks

QuickBooks Desktop only runs on Windows computers. The Mac version of the Fishbowl Server can integrate with QuickBooks on a Windows computer, or a Mac running Windows as a virtual machine. NOTE: If the Fishbowl Server is running on a Windows computer, these steps are not necessary. Alternatively, Fishbowl can integrate with QuickBooks Online or Xero, which don't require a Windows computer.

Complete the steps below to allow the Fishbowl Server on a Mac to communicate with a Windows QuickBooks installation.

  1. Copy Fishbowl Nexus.exe from the Mac (Applications/Fishbowl/server/bin/) to a folder located on the Windows computer. Fishbowl Nexus must be running for the export to work. Placing the program in the Startup folder will allow the program to start automatically when the computer reboots.
  2. Run Fishbowl Nexus.exe on the Windows computer. The Fishbowl Nexus icon will appear on the taskbar.
  3. Open the Fishbowl Server and the Fishbowl Client on the Mac.
  4. Open the in the Fishbowl Client and double-click FBNexusURL in the search pane.
  5. Change the Value of the property from localhost to the IP address of the Windows computer (for example, 192.168.2.100) and then click Save.
  6. Open the and run the QuickBooks Integration Wizard.

You should now be able to export from the Fishbowl Server on Mac to the QuickBooks installation on Windows.

Because QuickBooks Online is web-based, integration is not dependent on the operating system. Simply open the and run the QuickBooks Online Integration Wizard.

Integrate with Xero

Fish Cube Twomonoo Mac Os Catalina

Because Xero is web-based, integration is not dependent on the operating system. Simply open the and run the Xero Integration Wizard.
