Importing to Online Version

I currently use a reservation system to manage my campground, and desktop version of QuickBooks

I create an IIF file in the reservation system for all sales, and it exports it to QuickBooks desk top,  and I can import sales items into the reservation system from QuickBooks desk top.

 

I would like to move to the online system.   does anyone know will I be able to use the same functions to import and export iff or data files from on the online version to a third party software?

 

Thanks

Why did you consider switching to QB Online?

QB Online does not support IIF and you should also consider switching your reservation system to one that supports QB Online. Other than IIF, what file format you can export from the system? e.g CSV, XLS
