Likelihood to Recommend I wouldn't recommend them to anybody because their support is getting worse and worse and their business processes require you to contact support whether you want to or not. You will be forced to contact support and then wait for days to get any meaningful response that's not a copy/pasted sentence from FAQ.
Read full review I gave this rating more from the standpoint that I enjoy using other bookkeeping platforms more than I enjoy QuickBooks Online Advanced. While QuickBooks Online Advanced is a solid platform that I have no issue working in, there are some areas that could be improved. The biggest of these areas is the overall design of the platform. I feel that when you first log in and are brought to the home screen, everything just looks cluttered.
Read full review Pros Super easy to implement SDKs across supported platforms that support modern interface paradigms. Real team members that provide backend support for merchant issues. We had issues addressed quickly and taken seriously whenever we needed anything. Help with navigating VAT transparently. We never worried that we were messing up in this complicated area of international sales. Great first line customer support reduces the need for an extensive customer support organization on our end. They dealt with all purchase related issues as well as lightweight technical issues (e.g pointing users to FAQs, update links, etc.). Read full review It allows us to link to bank accounts in order to get up-to-date, real-time information, which is so important in today's lightning speed work world. The "canned" reports are excellent and allow for extreme customization also. This makes them very helpful to both me and my clients. The user interface for QuickBooks Online Advanced is easy to navigate and is intuitive for novices. The screens are well laid out and have cohesiveness on each screen to match tasks with others that match up well. Read full review Cons Analytics could support more flexible analysis of reported data and better custom events. More customization of the drop in purchase UI on the web without the need for a full custom site integration. Sometimes communication from their front line support staff has gone to the wrong address. Read full review Proper advice in QuickBooks Online Pro for the usage if QuickBooks Online Advanced will be more efficient. More features and space in the app for organization of the self-created workflows. The stability of QuickBooks Online Advanced can still be better. There are still file-size issues and limitations on transactions and attributes of transactions. Steffen Jäschke Projektspezialist bei Steffen Jäschke EinzUnt Physik, Berechnungen

Read full review Alternatives Considered We tried using Stripe before Paddle, but it was a pain integrating it and it lacked the licensing. Paddle allows us just to add a payment button and don’t ever think about payment methods, we don’t have to make a separate button for card payments and another one for PayPal. Paddle does all this in their checkout process.
Read full review I have not evaluated any yet. I have used QuickBooks since 2008 and I used Sage in the corporate environment before using QuickBooks. Honestly, I can't remember it because it was early 2000's. I thought about evaluating and looking because of the issues I've had with QuickBooks, but I haven't really investigated.
Read full review Return on Investment We wanted to grow faster, which was possible once we integrate recurring payment gateway. And we've got Paddle to do that. Read full review Positive - time and accuracy: Improved bank feeds with rules for automating categorization (expense account) of transactions. Negative - time and efficiency: Very slow response in data entry such as estimates, purchase orders, invoices, sales receipts, bills & bill payment, and even check writing. Negative - time and error correction: Payroll taxes and sales taxes remain in their own silos and are very difficult to correct OR wrong to correct with regular ledger and transaction entries. Negative - time and reporting: Customer activity cannot be tracked using deposits or JE'd transactions. Reporting and research require the use of transaction forms such as invoices, sales receipts, payments, and credit memos. As an example, the transaction register for a customer can be sorted by various parameters. A default is "All" transactions but does not include all transactions -- you have to select "All plus deposits" and you will also not see checks. This is about the same for Vendor activity, where deposits (e.g. refunds) will not show in the vendor's activity register. A vendor credit memo is required, then the refund can be pushed against that credit balance. The credit memo will appear in the vendor register, but a deposit will not. Read full review ScreenShots
