Pricing

1. How much does this connector cost?

QuickBooks Desktop Analytics is bundled free for all the paid users of Zoho Analytics. The Zoho Analytics paid plans starts at ₹1,200 per month. Click to learn more about Zoho Analytics pricing.

2. Do you provide trial evaluation for this connector?

Yes, we do provide a 15-day free trial for this connector from the date of setup.

3. What do you mean by 'Users' in the (connector) pricing plan?

Anyone to whom you privately share your Workspace, tables (data), reports and dashboards, created in Zoho Analytics for collaboration is considered a 'User' in Zoho Analytics. A user is identified by his/her unique email address, with which their Zoho Analytics account was registered.
Suppose you subscribe to the Zoho Analytics Standard plan, you can privately share the data/reports in your account and collaborate with 4 other persons. Now your Zoho Analytics account is said to have 5 users (including yourself).

4. What do you mean by 'Rows'/'Records' and how is it calculated in the pricing plan?

In Zoho Analytics, a row or record is defined in the same context as in a database (or spreadsheet). In simple terms, a table consists of rows (records) and columns (fields). Each row in a table represents a set of related data and has the same structure. For example, in a table that represents "invoice", each row would represent a single invoice record. The number of rows calculated for pricing is the sum of all rows/records stored across all your Workspace tables in your Zoho Analytics account.

Troubleshooting Tips

1. I get an error message as "A QuickBooks company data file is already open and it is different from the one requested." How to resolve this?

The following are the possible causes that can result in this error. 

Case 1: You have two instances of QuickBooks open on the same machine. 
Solution: Run only one instance & close all other instances. 

Case 2: You have the Quick Start option turned on. 
Solution: Turn off this option. 

Case 3: Different QuickBooks File is open. You have QuickBooks open to a particular company file other than the one you had originally set up in the Zoho Analytics Setup Creation Configuration page. Trying to refresh data from a different QuickBooks File will cause this error.  This generally occurs on a single-user installation.
Solution: Ensure that the file specified in Zoho Analytics Setup page and the one that is opened are same using the Edit Setup option.

Case 4: Different QuickBooks Path.  You have QuickBooks open to a particular company file that is using a different path than the one you had originally set up in the Qube Configuration Tool. Trying to refresh data from a different QuickBooks path will cause this error.  This generally occurs on a single-user installation.
Solution: Ensure that the Company which is configured in Zoho Analytics alone is opened.
