Metro 2 Integration for QuickBooks

Integrate Intuit QuickBooks with Metro2 to report customer payment history to credit bureaus. Ideal for businesses that extend credit terms (Net-30, Net-60, etc.) to customers and want to report payment behavior. Metro2 connects via QuickBooks' REST API with OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow. QuickBooks Online provides immediate sandbox access for testing. QuickBooks does not include native Metro 2 reporting. Plans range from $15 to $150/month depending on features.

How It Works

QuickBooks provides customer and accounts receivable data through its REST API (OAuth 2.0 authenticated) and webhook notifications. Metro2 maps AR data to Metro 2 Base Segment format, calculating payment ratings from invoice due dates vs. payment dates, and submits to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

Get Set Up in 4 Steps

Connect QuickBooks

Authorize Metro2 to access your QuickBooks Online data via OAuth 2.0. The authorization flow uses appcenter.intuit.com with token exchange at oauth.platform.intuit.com. Scope: com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting.

Select Customers

Choose which customers and account types to report. Configure credit terms, grace periods, and reporting rules per customer or globally.

Test in Sandbox

QuickBooks provides immediate sandbox access. Run test reports and validate Metro 2 output before going live.

Start Reporting

Enable production reporting. Metro2 pulls data via API and webhooks, generates Metro 2 files monthly, and submits to all three bureaus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with QuickBooks Online and Desktop?

We support QuickBooks Online via the REST API with OAuth 2.0. QuickBooks Desktop does not have the same API, so it requires data export to CSV or another supported format for import into Metro2.

Can I report invoices as credit accounts?

Yes. Net-30, Net-60, and other credit terms can be reported as open-end credit accounts. The invoice due date and payment date determine the payment rating (current, 30-day late, 60-day late, etc.).

Do I need to be a registered furnisher?

Yes. You need a furnisher ID with the credit bureaus. Metro2 can guide you through the registration process with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

Does QuickBooks have native credit reporting?

No. QuickBooks does not include built-in Metro 2 file generation or credit bureau submission. Metro2 provides this capability through the QuickBooks API.
