How to Send Paid Memberships Pro Data to QuickBooks Online
QuickBooks Online is an accounting platform for managing finances. Paid Memberships Pro manages a member checks out or a membership level changes, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to QuickBooks Online.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting Paid Memberships Pro to accounting, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Paid Memberships Pro installed and configured.
- A QuickBooks Online account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect QuickBooks Online to AFI
QuickBooks Online uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → QuickBooks Online, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Paid Memberships Pro to QuickBooks Online.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Paid Memberships Pro as the form provider. AFI fires when a member checks out or a membership level changes, giving you access to member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and order ID.
3. Select QuickBooks Online as the destination
Choose QuickBooks Online from the platform dropdown and pick Create Customer. This creates a customer in QuickBooks Online.
4. Map fields
Match each QuickBooks Online field on the left to the corresponding Paid Memberships Pro field on the right. Common mappings include member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and order ID. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Paid Memberships Pro. Check QuickBooks Online to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps name, email, and phone to QuickBooks Online with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
