Home/Jobber + QuickBooks Desktop Integration
Jobber + QuickBooks Desktop

Jobber Dropped Official QuickBooks Desktop Support. We Didn't.

Jobber's own integration only talks to QuickBooks Online now, officially dropped Desktop support back in 2019. If your business runs Jobber for scheduling and invoicing but still keeps its books in QuickBooks Desktop, the honest answer from Jobber is: switch to QBO, or do it by hand. We think there's a third option.

Why 'no official integration' isn't the end of it

Jobber not supporting Desktop doesn't mean the two systems can't talk, it means nobody's built that bridge for you off the shelf. We build against QuickBooks Desktop's SDK and qbXML directly, the same mechanism any Desktop integration has to use since there's no modern API, and connect it to what Jobber's own API exposes.

This isn't a workaround held together with duct tape. It's a real, maintained connection built specifically because the official path doesn't exist, for exactly the businesses who aren't ready to move their books off Desktop just because their field service tool moved on.

One of our recent projects

Shopify retailer

Shopify to QuickBooks sync

The problemShopify sales landed in QuickBooks as one number a day. Every month somebody spent half a day working out why a payout didn't match.

A retailer's Shopify sales synced into QuickBooks as one number a day, and every month someone spent half a day working out why a payout didn't match. We rebuilt the sync to itemize by product category, use real product costs, and match each payout to the orders, fees and refunds behind it. The half-day reconciliation became a five-minute check.

What We Connect

01

Invoices and jobs reaching Desktop automatically

Completed jobs and invoices from Jobber post into your QuickBooks Desktop company file without someone re-entering them by hand.

02

Payment status flows back to Jobber

When an invoice gets marked paid in Desktop, Jobber reflects it too, so your field team isn't chasing a customer who already paid.

03

Customer and item data kept in sync both ways

Customer records and service items stay consistent whichever side they're updated on, instead of drifting apart the moment one changes and the other doesn't.

04

Built on the mechanism that actually works for Desktop

The SDK and qbXML, not a workaround that breaks the next time either platform updates. See our [QuickBooks Desktop API](/quickbooks-desktop-api/) page for how that foundation works.

The result isn't switching to QuickBooks Online because Jobber told you to. It's Jobber and QuickBooks Desktop actually talking to each other, built by someone willing to solve a problem Jobber decided wasn't worth solving anymore.

Questions people ask

Does Jobber integrate with QuickBooks Desktop?

Not officially, Jobber's own connector only supports QuickBooks Online as of 2019. A custom connection built against Desktop's SDK is how businesses still running Desktop keep using both.

Do we have to switch to QuickBooks Online to use Jobber?

Not necessarily. If you have a real reason to stay on Desktop, a multi-user setup you've already invested in, industry-specific needs, a custom connection can keep both running without forcing a migration you don't want.

Is a custom connection reliable long-term, or does it break with updates?

Built correctly against the SDK, it holds up the same way any properly built integration does. We stay around to maintain it, which is more than an abandoned official connector would offer anyway.

Is the quote really free with no obligation?

Yes. Tell us what you need, we'll tell you what it takes and what it costs. You decide from there.
