AUTOMATION
IGNITION TO QUICKBOOKS ONLINE AUTOMATION
Purpose
The Ignition to QuickBooks Online (QBO) integration provides a seamless flow for payment authorizations and invoice reconciliation. This automation replaces QuickBooks Payments' capped-fee model with Ignition's predictable, lower transaction fees, helping firms forecast cash flow more accurately and reduce per-transaction spending. It also automates accounts receivable processes, eliminating the need for manual work in chasing payments.
Impact
Firms experience predictable, lower transaction costs by utilizing Ignition's flat $1 ACH fee, which helps reduce costly NSF/chargeback penalties. This integration significantly eliminates AR headcount by capturing payment authorizations upon proposal acceptance and auto-reconciling invoices in QBO. Firms report slashing manual receivables work, reclaiming 1-2 hours per day (approximately 2,000 hours per year) previously spent on chasing payments. Over 7,500 firms leverage Ignition with QBO to engage more than 2 million clients and generate over $9 billion in revenue, showcasing the substantial ROI of this integrated proposal-to-payment automation.
