The following article will show you how to connect Arlo to QuickBooks so you can automatically export orders to your accounting system.
- This is a one-way sync only, order information from Arlo can be exported to QuickBooks but information cannot be sent back to Arlo.
- Currently this integration cannot support multiple tax rates from Arlo to QuickBooks. You will need to manually change the tax rates once an invoice has been created.
- In your Zapier Dashboard select Create Zap.

Step 1: Pull new Arlo order information
- Search for and select Arlo from the app selector.

- Choose New Order as the Trigger Event and press Continue.

- Add the following extra information:
- Billing Address Information
- Payment References information (if you'd like to provide a summary of payments made so far)
- Order Line Information
- Billing Contact information
- Billing Orgnisation information

- Choose your account and press Continue.

- On the find data step, press Test trigger and Continue.
If Zapier says it cannot find any orders to display try creating a new order in your platform, waiting a couple minutes, and clicking test again.

- Select the Find Contact in Arlo as the second step.

- Choose your account and press Continue.

- In the ID field select the Billing Contact ID from the New Order step.

- Press Continue.
- Proceed with the Test & Review step.
Step 2: Find or create QuickBooks customer
- Choose QuickBooks as the new action.

QuickBooks is a premium app which requires a paid plan to access. You will need to be on a paid plan for multi-step Zaps so this shouldn't be an issue!
- Select Find Customer for the Choose Action Event.

- Select the QuickBooks account you'd like to connect to the Zap.
You will need to connect to your QuickBooks account if this is the first time you've used it for a Zap.

- Use Email as the search field and enter the Billing Contact Email from the New Order as the search value.
- Tick the option for Create QuickBooks Customer if it doesn't doesn't exist yet.

- Fill out all the required fields and any additional ones you want to include from the New Order & Find Contact steps.

- Continue to the Send Data step and Test & Review.
This should either find an existing or create a new customer in QuickBooks, if it returns an error it is likely you have used a invalid format in a field (i.e. text in a number only field). Review all your mappings, if you're still encountering an error contact Arlo Support.
Step 3: Create invoice in QuickBooks
Search for and select QuickBooks for the next action step.

- Select Create Invoice for the Choose Action Event.

- For the Line Items section enter the following information, if there are multiple registrations on an order this will create each one in the QuickBooks order.
- Quantity should be set to '1'.
- The Tax field will need to be assigned a singular tax setting for all orders (this can be changed later in QuickBooks).

- Once all fields you'd like to include have been filled out proceed to Test & Review.

- If you tested the new invoice and successfully sent it to QuickBooks you can move on.
- The Zap is now created and ready to go, all that's left is to give it a name and turn it on.
