How do I connect my QuickBooks account to my Etsy account?

Etsy said that as soon as I create my account it will ask me if I want to connect to Etsy and then send me back to Etsy to confirm.  None of that happened.

I'll gladly help you connect QuickBooks Self-Employed to your Etsy account, mountaindeervint.

 

First, may I know if you received an error message when connecting your Etsy account to QuickBooks Online (QBO)? This is to ensure that we'll be able to address properly your concern and provide an accurate solution.

 

Also, you'll want to make sure that you're using the correct URL to connect to your bank and check if there is bank maintenance that may have triggered the issue.  

 

However, if the issue persists, we can perform some basic troubleshooting steps. There are times when your browser is full of frequently-accessed page resources, thus causing websites, like QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), to act weirdly. This can be the reason why you're unable to connect to your Etsy account.

 

Let's consider logging into your QBO account using a private browser so we can isolate this issue. To do so:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Option + P

 

Once signed in, double-check if you can connect to your bank. If it works, return to your default browser and clear the cache to speed up the loading process. Oftentimes, your cache becomes overwhelmed with older data which can potentially cause viewing and performance issues. Clearing them refreshes the system, and you'll be able to work with a clean slate. If the issue persists, you can try using other supported browsers.

 

Once connected, you can now categorize transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed. See this reference for more information about schedule C and expense categories in QuickBooks Self-Employed to report your self-employed income and expenses.

 

I'm always around here if you need more help connecting your Etsy account.  Have a great day!
