All our subscription payment information must be stored in our QuickBooks Pro accounting software. Since we use PayPal, I can download the payments directly into QuickBooks. The problem is we receive some payments via U.S. mail. I don't want to enter them twice into QuickBooks and aMember. Has anyone come up with a solution to this? I did notice that QuickBooks has an API.
Yes, QuickBooks can import CSVs. I'll need to manually enter users into aMember that do not have email addresses, which it looks like aMember can handle. Correct? I realize it won't send the renewals via email. I'll probably need to create a custom report of expiring members without emails -- or give them a no_email@ourdomain.com that goes to me and reminds me to mail a renewal to them. The possible problem is aMember exports more customers than I want. I'd only want to export the Manual Pays. I can probably hack that option. I'd also want to limit it to a specific fiscal year. It looks like QuickBooks can handle importing the same records more than once.
Yes, aMember can work with customers without e-mails. Also, it is easy to filter out only "manual" payment records. It can be done in PHP code, or by filtering CSV file in MS Excel.
