Also, ensure that payroll item list is enabled under lists in QuickBooks so that the timesheet items can be sent from ClockShark to QuickBooks. The appropriate company file that needs to be connected with ClockShark should be open.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Install the QuickBooks Web Connector on the machine on which ClockShark service will be used with QuickBooks Desktop. Download the QWC file from the ClockShark website.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Grant access on the QuickBooks security prompts when they appear to connect with ClockShark.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Provide the credentials for the ClockShark account on the Web Connector.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Once the initial sync is completed between ClockShark and QuickBooks Desktop, switch to the ClockShark application and update the details in Payroll Mappings and click on Save and Continue.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Visit the job screen, tasks, employees, and other data to confirm that the right data has been synchronized between the applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Apps4Rent Can Host Financial Applications for Remote Access<\/h3>\n<p>Many businesses use ClockShark with QuickBooks Desktop for automating job costing.
