In order to link existing Seedtrakr and existing QuickBooks products together, you must first fetch your product list from QuickBooks.
On the Quickbooks Integration tab in the company settings, click the QuickBooks Products tab.
Click the Fetch QuickBooks Products button.
A dialog will appear, showing all products found in QuickBooks that were not already in the list in Seedtrakr as well as any products that have been updated in QuickBooks since the last time they were fetched from QuickBooks.
Your QuickBooks products will now appear in a list under the Products tab. Here you can see the following information about them:

Name: The product's name as configured in QuickBooks.
Product/Retail Product Name: The name of the product in Seedtrakr that the QuickBooks product it is linked to.

This step sets the default chart of accounts to be used for products. This will only be used if you sync a new product from Seedtrakr to QuickBooks that does not have specific accounts set up on it.
In the QuickBooks Products tab, click on edit in the top right corner.
The Quickbooks Product Chart of Accounts screen will appear where you can select your Inventory Expense Account, Inventory Asset Account, Inventory Income Account, and NonInventory Income Account
To select each type of account, click on the dropdown box and choose from the accounts created in QuickBooks.
Click Save to save the product chart of accounts.
If you already have your products created in both Seedtrakr and QuickBooks, the next step is linking them together. They will use the expense, asset and income accounts that are already set on them in Quickbooks, there is no need to manually configure them in Seedtrakr. Proceed to Linking Seedtrakr Products to QuickBooks Products.
If your products exist in QuickBooks, but not Seedtrakr. Create the product in Seedtrakr, then proceed to Linking Seedtrakr Products to QuickBooks Products. Again, no manual configuration of accounts in Seedtrakr is necessary.
If your products exist in Seedtrakr, but not Quickbooks. Proceed to Setting Accounts on Specific Products (below), then Syncing New Products to QuickBooks.
This step sets the necessary expense, asset and income accounts on individual products. If the product already exists in QuickBooks and has been synced to Seedtrakr, skip this step and proceed to Linking Seedtrakr Products to Quickbooks Products below.
Go to the PRODUCTS page (Or Retail Products page, depending on which type of product you are modifying).
Select the product you want to configure the QuickBooks accounts on, then click Edit.
A dialog will appear where you can then click on the Quickbooks Integration tab.
In this tab you can specify the type of product that this should be in QuickBooks (Inventory or Non Inventory) and you can choose the appropriate expense, asset and income account for it.
Once you've finished setting them up, click Save.
Note: If any of the expected accounts don't appear in the drop down lists, fetch the chart of accounts from QuickBooks again to ensure that you have the most updated accounts available in Seedtrakr.
After completing this step, proceed to Syncing New Products to QuickBooks.
