How to export from QuickBooks

  1. Open the report or list that contains the payments you need to export.
  2. Export to Excel or CSV. QuickBooks Online commonly uses Reports → Export to Excel.
  3. Open the file and confirm routing numbers and account numbers are text, not numbers.
  4. Remove totals rows, blank lines, and header rows that are not payment data.
  5. Upload the file in the generator and review the suggested column mapping.

Column mapping preset

The generator recognizes common QuickBooks export headers and suggests column mapping automatically. Match your export to these importer fields:
