What you’ll learn in this video

How to connect Melio with QuickBooks Online

  • Match your credentials first: Start by ensuring your company name and email are identical in both Melio and QuickBooks to ensure a stable connection
  • Sign up with Intuit credentials: Create a new Melio account using your Intuit login for automatic QuickBooks data sync
  • Connect from Melio Settings: Navigate to Settings, select Sync & Import, choose QuickBooks Online, and click Connect
  • Use the quick connect shortcut: Click the sync icon next to “New Payment” on your Pay dashboard for instant connection

How to manage and monitor your sync connection

  • Trigger manual syncs: Use the “Sync now” button to immediately update data between both platforms
  • Check sync status: View your last sync time to ensure information is current
  • Disconnect when needed: Temporarily disconnect the integration if you need to make system changes
  • Track connection health: Monitor your sync status to quickly identify and resolve any issues

How to troubleshoot common sync issues

  • Fix bills not appearing: Check your connection, select “Sync now,” edit and re-save bills in QuickBooks, or verify bills aren’t already paid or archived
  • Resolve payment sync problems: Wait briefly then sync manually, confirm payments are fully processed in Melio, and check for corresponding entries in QuickBooks
  • Handle sync failures: Disconnect and reconnect the integration in both systems, and be sure the QuickBooks Primary Admin performs the reconnection
  • Understand key limitations: Know that one QuickBooks file connects to one Melio account, emails must match, and partial sync disable isn’t available
