PeasyOrders for QuickBooks wholesale users

QuickBooks Online handles your money fine. The gap is order intake — emailed orders, PDF attachments, and spreadsheets keyed in by hand, priced from a separate spreadsheet. PeasyOrders reads the written orders, applies each customer's pricing, and exports clean Estimates after your review.

What this role typically owns

  • Run the wholesale business on QuickBooks Online — invoices, payments, reporting
  • Turn customers' emailed orders, PDF purchase orders, and spreadsheets into clean QuickBooks records
  • Keep each customer's negotiated pricing straight at order-entry time
  • Answer for the wrong quantities and missed lines that manual entry lets through

Pain points we hear about

  • Orders arrive everywhere except QuickBooks — emails, PDF attachments, spreadsheets — and every one is keyed in by hand
  • Per-customer pricing lives in a spreadsheet or an old invoice, and someone cross-references it on every order
  • Customers order in their own words — case packs, shorthand names, 'the usual' — while QuickBooks wants a clean line item against a real SKU
  • Phoned orders that wait on a note until someone types them up
  • The occasional wrong quantity or missed line that turns into a credit later

Desired outcomes

  • Emailed orders that land in QuickBooks Online as clean, priced Estimates without retyping
  • Each customer's price applied by rule, with the rule that set it visible on the line
  • One reviewed queue for written and phoned orders instead of a scattered inbox
  • QuickBooks Online stays the system of record — nothing to migrate

What gap does PeasyOrders close for a QuickBooks wholesaler?

You run your wholesale business on QuickBooks Online, and it handles the money fine — invoices, payments, reporting. What breaks is everything between a customer sending an order and that order becoming a clean QuickBooks record. PeasyOrders — order capture built for small and mid-sized US wholesale distributors on QuickBooks Online — closes exactly that gap. It reads the orders that arrive in writing — the email body, the PDF attached, the spreadsheet — matches them to your items and each customer's pricing, holds them for your review, and exports them to QuickBooks Online as an Estimate. Phoned orders join the same queue in one click. QuickBooks stays your system of record; the retyping goes away.

If you've ever copied a customer's email into QuickBooks line by line, looked up their pricing in a separate spreadsheet, and hoped you didn't fat-finger a quantity, this page is for you.

What does a QuickBooks wholesaler deal with daily?

Orders arrive everywhere except QuickBooks. Your customers don't place orders in your accounting system. They email a list, attach a PDF purchase order, send the weekly spreadsheet, or call between deliveries. Every one has to be read and keyed into QuickBooks by hand. For a wholesaler doing dozens or hundreds of orders a week, that's hours of double entry — and the occasional wrong quantity or missed line that turns into a credit later.

Pricing is a manual lookup every time. Wholesale rarely has one price list. You've got per-customer rates, volume tiers, contract pricing, and the odd special. QuickBooks Online's price rules have spent years in beta and its API doesn't expose customer-specific pricing at all, so at entry time someone is cross-referencing a spreadsheet or remembering what that account pays. Get it wrong and you've either undercharged or started an argument.

The order doesn't match QuickBooks cleanly. Customers order in their words — case packs, split cases, "a couple of the usual," shorthand product names. QuickBooks wants a clean line item against a real SKU. Bridging that gap is exactly the work that eats your morning.

How does PeasyOrders help you?

It captures the written orders. The email body, the PDF attached (it needs a text layer), the spreadsheet. Phoned and texted orders are added by your team in one click as manual entries in the same queue — there's no call capture or transcription, and PeasyOrders doesn't read photos, scans, or handwriting. An attachment it can't parse isn't bounced: it stays on the order, worked inside PeasyOrders in a side-by-side view.

It matches to your QuickBooks items. Sync your item list from QuickBooks Online (or upload a CSV), and PeasyOrders matches each line to a real item — learning each customer's shorthand from the corrections your team confirms, so "the usual two cases" lands on the right SKU after the first few orders.

It applies each customer's price. Per-customer rates, tiers, and contract pricing are applied by rule, with the rule that set each price shown on the line. QuickBooks Online's API doesn't expose customer-specific pricing to any integration, so PeasyOrders is the pricing engine itself: on setup it reads your past invoices once and proposes each customer's pricing, which you accept, adjust, or discard before it applies.

Proposed from your past invoices — nothing applies until you accept it.

The lookup you stop doing: each account's price applied by rule and shown on the line — proposed once from your past QuickBooks invoices, applied only after you accept.

It exports clean to QuickBooks Online. You review the draft — every value shows its source — confirm it, and it exports as an Estimate by default (configurable), or to Google Sheets or CSV. Nothing leaves without your sign-off. The system suggests, the operator validates.

What does it cost?

Plans run $99 (Starter, up to 200 confirmed orders a month), $199 (Growth, 600), and $349 (Scale, 1,500), with a 30-day money-back guarantee and no free trial — details on the pricing page. Where it honestly may not pay: if you handle a handful of orders a month, or every order already lands in QuickBooks cleanly through another system, the manual entry probably isn't costing you enough to fix. The math works when retyping orders eats real hours every week.

Keep QuickBooks. Lose the order entry.

QuickBooks Online is good at being your books. It was never meant to read a customer's email and turn it into a priced order — that's the job PeasyOrders does before handing the clean record back to QuickBooks where it belongs.

Frequently asked questions

Does PeasyOrders replace QuickBooks?

No. QuickBooks Online stays your system of record for invoices, payments, and reporting. PeasyOrders sits in front of it as the order-intake layer: it reads the orders that arrive by email — the body, the PDF attached, the spreadsheet — turns them into records matched to your items and each customer's pricing, and exports them to QuickBooks Online as an Estimate after you review. Phoned orders are added in one click. You keep your books exactly where they are.

Does QuickBooks Online have sales orders now?

Yes — this changed recently. QuickBooks Online added a native sales order on Plus, Advanced, and Intuit Enterprise Suite; Simple Start and Essentials need the paid Inventory add-on. It reserves inventory, converts from an estimate, and converts to an invoice or a purchase order. A sales order still doesn't fill itself, though — someone keys in the customer's emailed order before any of that starts. PeasyOrders fills that step: it reads the message, matches it to your items and prices, and holds it for review, so what lands in QuickBooks is structured instead of typed. Note that the QuickBooks Online API doesn't expose the sales-order entity to integrations, which is why PeasyOrders exports an Estimate by default.

Which versions of QuickBooks does it work with?

PeasyOrders is built for QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks Desktop isn't supported — Intuit stopped selling Desktop to new US customers in 2024, except Enterprise — and there's no Desktop bridge. If you don't export to QuickBooks Online, reviewed orders can go to Google Sheets or CSV instead.

How does it handle our customer-specific pricing?

It applies each customer's pricing on the captured order, following your rules in order: a specific customer-and-product price wins over a category rule, which wins over a price list, which wins over a blanket discount, which wins over the item's base price. The rule that set each price shows on the line. QuickBooks Online's API doesn't expose customer-specific pricing to any integration, so PeasyOrders is the pricing engine itself: on setup it reads your past invoices once and proposes each customer's pricing, which you accept, adjust, or discard before it applies.

Which order channels does PeasyOrders capture?

Written orders: the email body plus PDF and spreadsheet attachments. Phone and texted orders are added by your team in one click as manual entries in the same queue — there's no call capture or transcription. PeasyOrders doesn't read photos, scans, or handwriting, and a PDF needs a text layer to be parsed automatically. An attachment it can't parse isn't bounced: it stays on the order, worked inside PeasyOrders in a side-by-side view.

Does it do inventory or warehouse management like Fishbowl or SOS Inventory?

No, and that's the honest line. Tools like Fishbowl and SOS Inventory add inventory, manufacturing, and warehouse control on top of QuickBooks — a different category that PeasyOrders complements rather than replaces. PeasyOrders does one thing: it captures the inbound written order, prices it, and structures it for QuickBooks Online. It never tracks stock, and it never promises inventory it can't see.

Is it a customer portal or a rep ordering app?

Neither. It doesn't ask your customers to log in and place orders, and it isn't an app reps tap orders into. It takes orders the way they already arrive in writing — the email body, the PDF attached, the spreadsheet — and your team adds phoned orders in one click. That's why it works for customers who'll never use a portal.

What happens when a customer's order is ambiguous?

It pauses and flags the line for you. If a product is unclear, a quantity looks off, or a price doesn't resolve, PeasyOrders marks it for review rather than guessing, and unresolved lines block confirmation. Nothing exports to QuickBooks on its own — you confirm the order first, and every value shows where it came from.

How does it know our products if QuickBooks already has them?

You bring your catalog by syncing items from QuickBooks Online, uploading a CSV, or building it manually — there's no pre-loaded catalog. PeasyOrders matches each incoming order to your items and learns how each customer refers to them from the corrections your team confirms, so 'the usual two cases' lands on the right SKU after the first few orders.

We do dozens of orders a week. Is this overkill?

That volume is the sweet spot. The case for PeasyOrders grows with how many orders arrive in writing and get keyed in by hand. If you only take a handful of orders a month, or every order already lands in QuickBooks cleanly through another system, you may not need it. If retyping orders eats hours a week, it pays for itself quickly.
