To Export products to QuickBooks follow several steps of the wizard:

1. Select "Export Products to QuickBooks" option and click next to proceed.

2. Export Preview allows you to filter your data by any parameter. Note that all Products listed here will be exported to QuickBooks. You can use native greed filters (click on column headings)

and sorting in order to filter or rearrange products. Filters will affect the result of export.

3. Export options may affect the results. Please, read and check your selection carefully.

The first option allows you to connect to your QuickBooks database.

If QuickBooks is running right now, select first option to connect to your data.
If QuickBooks is off, you can connect to its data file (.qbw) anyway, just browse the one you need to proceed.

Also note that you may need to allow access from QuickBooks integration plug-in to QuickBooks. Please, check if Quick Books asks any confirmation (it will pop up automatically if it's needed) and proceed.

Import/Export Method:

Create and Modify - will add new product if it is not available in database yet and modify those products that were found
