Export your invoice and payments and adjustment reports out of Passare and import to QuickBooks Online.
Jump ahead to
This export supports General Journal style accounting, not Invoice accounting.
✋ Before you begin, you will need to purchase SaasAnt: a third-party tool converts and helps import QBO data into Passare. The lowest subscription works well for this.
Set up QuickBooks
First, set up a new account in QuickBooks called Passare AR.
In QuickBooks, go to Accounting > Chart of Accounts > New.
Select the settings shown below and save.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Be sure to type the account name exactly as written here. It is case sensitive and must match perfectly in order to import correctly!
- If you use account numbers in QuickBooks, be sure to fill this in here. If you do not use account numbers, leave this field blank.
Funds will be imported to the new Passare AR account. From here, you can move funds to the correct AR account.
- Lastly, if you collect sales tax make sure your QuickBooks has automatic tax rate turned off.
- This is important because QuickBooks might add tax to the data you are importing, which already accounts for tax!
To turn off automatic tax rates, go to Taxes > Sales Tax in the left menu.
Then select Sales Tax Setting in the top-right.
Click Turn off sales tax.
Choose yes to confirm.
✋ Some settings need to be configured in Passare before moving on. Contact Passare Support at support@passare.com or (800) 692-5111 so we can help with setup.
Export a Passare case
Before exporting, make sure the case(s) you wish to export are signed on Goods & Services.
Not sure how to sign? Check out this article for more info.
Then go to Reports > System Reports in Passare.
Search and select the QBO Export.
Select the following report settings:
- Report Format: Excel CSV
- Delivery Method: Run & Send to Download Center (you can also email the file if you prefer)
- Date Range: Case(s) sign date range. You can select a predefined or custom range.
We recommend checking the export all items up to end date setting. This will export all un-exported items in case you have made changes to older cases outside the date range.
- Filter Items to Be Exported: Export only un-exported items
- Case: Select an individual case or leave as All Cases.
If this is your first time exporting, we recommend starting with one case.
- Preview Export:
- Check this if you want to view the import without flagging data as exported.
Do not import this file! - Leave unchecked when you are ready to import the file. Downloading the file while unchecked will flag data as exported.
- Check this if you want to view the import without flagging data as exported.
If you like these settings and want Passare to remember them, you can Save Configuration.
This will prompt you to name the configuration and Save.
Once all report settings are selected, click Run Report.
Next, go to Reports > Download Center (or email, whichever you selected as your Delivery Method).
Download the file and save to your computer.
Import to SaasAnt
Next, login to SaasAnt.
On their website, select Support & Login > SaasAnt Transactions (Online).
(Or use this link.)
Login using your login credentials.
Browse for the file and upload. Once uploaded, click Submit.
On the next screen, select Journal Entries.

Map the following sections:
- Account: Account Number
- Description: Memo 1
- Amount (Debit or Credit): Amount

All mappings should have a green check mark.
Select More > Save Mapping to save these settings for future imports.
