QuickBooks to Data Studio (ex Looker Studio): FAQ

Answers to common questions about connecting data to spreadsheets, dashboards, AI assistants, and reporting tools with Catchr.

How do I connect QuickBooks to Looker Studio?

Connect QuickBooks Online in Catchr, sign in through Intuit and authorize the company you want to report on. Open the Catchr connector in Looker Studio, select the connected company and create a data source. Check a small invoice table against QuickBooks before adding charts, using invoice identifiers and transaction dates to compare the same records.

Does this connector work with QuickBooks Desktop?

The Catchr connector uses QuickBooks Online and its Intuit authorization flow. It does not read a QuickBooks Desktop company file from your computer. If your records are only in Desktop, use a separate export workflow before reporting on them. For a structured export hosted at a URL, review the requirements of the JSON/CSV/XML connector.

Which QuickBooks Online data is available in Looker Studio?

Catchr exposes company information, customers, invoices, invoice lines and payments. You can chart invoice totals and balances, inspect due dates and currencies, analyze sales-item quantities, and review payment amounts. The current connector does not include every QuickBooks entity or financial report, so check these available records against the dashboard you want to build.

Why does my dashboard total differ from QuickBooks?

First compare the same company, currency and transaction dates. Catchr filters invoice and payment records by Transaction Date, while customer records are selected by their last-updated time. Also check tax treatment and row detail: invoice totals are document-level values, while invoice lines can include sales items and subtotal rows. Filter Line Type appropriately and avoid adding subtotal rows to their component lines.

Can I monitor unpaid invoices and customer balances?

Use Invoice Balance, Due Date, Invoice Customer Name and Invoice ID to inspect outstanding invoices. Include older transaction dates so unpaid invoices from earlier periods remain in the report. Invoice Balance is the current remaining balance, not a historical month-end snapshot. Customer Balance is a separate customer-level measure; adding it to invoice balances can count the same receivable twice.

Are invoice totals the same as payments received?

No. Invoice Total Amount describes an invoice, while Payment Total Amount describes a customer payment and Payment Transaction Date tells you when it was recorded. A payment can contain an unapplied amount, and an invoice may be paid later or in several payments. Keep invoicing and payment charts separate so a rise in billed sales is not mistaken for an equal rise in cash receipts.

Can I build a complete profit and loss statement from this connector?

The current Catchr connector does not retrieve the QuickBooks Profit and Loss report. Its invoice and payment records are useful for billing and collection dashboards, but they do not contain all expenses, journals and accounting adjustments needed for a complete statement. Use the QuickBooks reporting workflow for that report, and keep the accounting basis consistent when comparing figures.
