quickbooks point of sale 9 and zen cart auto stock update possible?

as the title states im hoping to be able to figure out how to setup my point of sale 9.0 (multistore version) to connect with my zencart site to automatically adjust stock levels and automatically insert new items along with descriptions. i tried to find some documentation using google but my eyes have gone blurry in a wash of information that is irrelevant. can anyone point me to some helpful reading or be able to run me through what needs to be done?

Intuit seems to have their own inventory tracking system and knowing them this is most likely in MSSql and not mysql
One would need to determine if their system can be made to talk to ZenCarts mysql DB

Re: quickbooks point of sale 9 and zen cart auto stock update possible?

it does work on a my.sql basis, sorry for the late reply been moving into a better laid out shop over the new year, been a bit manic to say the least. it does give an option within quickbooks to upload stock but i think it requires all stock to have images saved on the pc and correctly linked aswell as product descriptions for every item to work correctly. it asks for ftp details aswell but not sure if it would actually work as simple as that, seems to easy to enter ftp details and away it goes??

Before you try this BACKUP the Database properly and the files
As I suspect that what ever they try to do will not be in the correct form for ZenCart

Re: quickbooks point of sale 9 and zen cart auto stock update possible?

thanks that is something that i know should be done but would have probably only realised an hour later. I'll give it a try in the morning once i have figured out my other dilema (google checkout stuck in loop) and then i will let you know if it worked as easy as i hope it is, should it work the way it should i can set the epos system to do an automatic update as part of the end of day procedure. my site is https://www.crazygamer.co.uk if the error on google checkout i have is something you have seen/fixed before.

I know that this is a pretty old thread but I found a possible solution here:

I know I'm going to give it a shot to see if it works out
