Identifying the Product ID for use in creating an invoice in QuickBooks Online

Hello,

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I could not see a topic addressing it.

We have a Zap that creates an invoice in QuickBooks Online when a new order is placed on a WooCommerce store.

We also use a Filter only allows the Zap to run if the order status is “Complete”.

As QuickBooks Online needs to know the Product ID to generate the invoice, we use a Utilities Formatter to check which product has been bought and then convert that into the relevant Product ID.

This has been working fine, but our client is now adding a whole new range of products to their store and QuickBooks Online account. To ensure that the invoices continue to be generated correctly, I now need a way to find out what the Product IDs of their products and services in QuickBooks Online are.

Does anyone know an easy way to find that in Zapier?
I did a search on the QuickBooks support pages, but could not find that information anywhere, other than advising people to use the API, which I do not know how to do.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @QualiconGlobal 

Good question.

If you need help with the QBO API, consider hiring a Certified Zapier Expert: https://zapier.com/experts/automation-ace

 

It’s likely the QBO API would have to be used to query for Products.
