Getting Started
Please note that the QuickBooks Desktop integration must be completed by Corpay One Administrator that has Admin access to QuickBooks Desktop.
What does the QuickBooks Desktop integration do?
Corpay One's integration for QuickBooks Desktop automatically syncs document data from Corpay One to QuickBooks Desktop, including bills and payments. In broad terms, this is how the integration works:
When a document is submitted to your Corpay One account, the integration automatically creates an appropriate entry in your QuickBooks Desktop account for that vendor. If the vendor isn't already in your vendor list in QuickBooks Desktop, Corpay One will automatically create it for you.
When a bill is paid via Corpay One, the integration automatically creates a payment entry in your QuickBooks Desktop account for the vendor.
All this data is synced automatically and instantaneously as soon as you have set up the integration.
IMPORTANT: QuickBooks Desktop must always remain open and running for data synchronization to happen correctly. If not, the synchronization will occur upon logging into QuickBooks Desktop.
What data can I sync between Corpay One and QuickBooks Desktop?
Here's an overview of the data that automatically* syncs between Corpay One and QuickBooks Desktop. The arrows in the middle column show which direction the data flows:
Corpay One will automatically import all existing vendors and lists from QuickBooks Desktop during the integration set up process. After that, vendors will continue to sync from Corpay One to QuickBooks Desktop.

Import Open Invoices and Unapplied Vendor Credits
Toggle on the Import Open invoices and unapplied vendor credits feature to bring in any open invoices and vendor credits into Corpay One.
This is not recommended if there are open bills in QuickBooks that you do not want to bring into Corpay One.
Sync Before Approval: Check this box to always:
Sync individual document data to QuickBooks Desktop as soon as each document has been submitted in Corpay One;
Delete expense entries in QuickBooks Desktop if the corresponding documents are declined in Corpay One.
When toggled off, documents must be approved in Corpay One before any data is synced.
That's it! You now have set up the integration, and your data will automatically sync between Corpay One and QuickBooks Desktop as you submit, approve, categorize and pay documents in Corpay One.
You can always return to the integration setup following the steps above if you like to change your integration configuration.
IMPORTANT NOTE: QuickBooks must be in Single-user Mode at all times for ideal user experience and stable integration with the Corpay One platform.
IMPORTANT NOTE: QuickBooks may prompt you during the setup process to confirm access to the company file.
For best results choose “Yes, whenever this QuickBooks company file is open”
