How does UltraBooks work?

Integration between UltraCart and Quickbooks works through a downloadable piece of software called UltraBooks. The software needs to be installed on the same PC as Quickbooks. When the program is launched it will prompt you for the same login information that you use to access UltraCart. UltraBooks then securely downloads all the new (completed) orders and creates sales receipts in Quickbooks for each of the orders.

UltraBooks downloads orders that are marked in UltraCart as completed. Completed orders are ones that have been shipped. UltraBooks keeps track of the orders that are imported into Quickbooks so you can run the program as many times a day as needed.

If your order ID schema is date/time based then UltraBooks will allow Quickbooks to assign the next sales receipt number automatically and will place the UltraCart order number in the memo.

If your order ID is numerically increasing then UltraBooks will strip your merchant ID off the front and use that as the sales receipt number.
