GoDaddy retiring online bookkeeping
Just got the following email from GoDaddy. Of course, that is the service I use. I hate change.
After much consideration, we've made the decision to discontinue Online Bookkeeping on June 18, 2022. At that time, the Online Bookkeeping tool will stop importing transactions from your connected channels and your existing data will be archived. To provide you with the best possible experience going forward, we've partnered with Intuit to offer you a special discount on QuickBooks Online.
Anyone have experience with QuickBooks, good or bad?

·4 years agoI've spent hours researching alternatives to GoDaddy, and I'm still not sure what I'll do. Wave Bookkeeping is highly rated and it's free, but it doesn't integrate automatically with eBay. To integrate, you have to use a third-party app called Zapier, and this is where it gets confusing.
Zapier has a free plan, but after you exceed a certain amount of usage during the course of a month you have to pay for a plan that isn't free. It is difficult to tell from the Zapier website just how quickly an eBay store owner will use up all the free services in the course of a month. Zapier measures usage in terms of "zaps" and "tasks," and I'm still trying to figure out what that means.
QuickBooks isn't free, but they do have a free app built by Intuit that lets you integrate with eBay, so there shouldn't be any unpleasant surprises from month to month with what you'd expect to pay.

·4 years agoI just signed up with Quickbooks. I have a complete headache right now trying to understand the different formats they use than GoDaddy. It’s 15 dollars a month for 1 year, then goes to 25 dollars a month with the discount you get migrating from GoDaddy from their website. I will let you all know more about it as I painfully try to organize my stuff on there.

·4 years agoSame for me. I use Excel as well but liked having the ease of GoDaddy. I just signed up for QuickBooks using the GoDaddy discount, and I spent about an hour getting help from a Quickbooks specialist... and I'm still lost. All of my EBay sales that synced into Quickbooks went into the "Banking > App Transactions" section of Quickbooks rather than sales.
Adding cost of goods sold for items that sell is a pain so far too.
I'm going to keep using GoDaddy for the next month just to make sure the numbers in GoDaddy match the numbers in QuickBooks, but what a mess. I've also tried to find a similar accounting program to GoDaddy, but have not had any luck. I don't sell enough to make it worthwhile pay an accountant or pay for Quickbooks to manage my finances, so this is really disheartening.

·4 years agoThis is just pathetic. I cannot make heads or tails out of this system so far. I am going to have to talk to a real person tommorow to get this thing organized. Terrible un user friendly design. I have a massive headache at this point and if I cannot get someone to help me from Intuit I am totally unable to navigate through this system.

·4 years agoWe are completely lost on QB. We are nickel dime seller and it looks like Ebay may be losing a Seller.
Thanks Godaddy for throwing many Ebay sellers under the Bus.
