It's usually very common for a store admin, web developer or accountant to want to run tests with our integration when initially conducting setup / testing with MyWorks Sync. When doing so, we have a few best practices to share to ensure that testing is as seamless and easy as possible.
- It is is usually acceptable to test syncing our integration with a live QuickBooks company. This is because we do not automatically sync any past data, we only automatically sync new data - and this is very controllable. As such, this presents a very low integrity risk to live QuickBooks companies, as it's very easy to delete test data from QuickBooks after syncing.
- Before syncing any products, customers or orders to test, ensure your default settings and initial mappings are set. This will help avoid unnecessary errors.
- When placing test orders to sync, avoid placing them with an admin user, as it will normally result in QuickBooks Customer Not Found errors. These can be resolved using this article, however.
- When testing syncing customers or orders, it is usually best to stay away from admin users/names that already exist as customers, vendors or employees in QuickBooks - as this will result in duplicate customer errors. We recommend testing only with unique fake names to avoid this.
