Webgility and QuickBooks need to be connected properly to ensure seamless data exchange between them. However, sometimes the connection between QuickBooks and Webgility breaks and needs to be reconnected.

In this article, we will guide you through the troubleshooting steps for QuickBooks connection issues.

QuickBooks online integration breaks with Webgility online in case of authentication certificate expiration or due to any other authentication-related changes in QB.

However, it's effortless to reconnect QuickBooks online, no matter what was the reason for the connection break. Just follow the steps below:

1). Login to Webgility online and go to Settings> Connection.

2). We need to disconnect QuickBooks and connect it again.

Click on ‘Connect to QuickBooks’

You will get a permission popup, click on ‘Connect’

The data will start downloading
