QuickBooks Online Multicurrency and Bookkeep

Do you receive payments in multiple currencies? Do you have sales occurring in foreign currencies? If these apply to you, you may have questions about how Bookkeep manages multiple currencies.

Conversion Using App-Provided Converted Amounts​

For starters, if any of the apps you have connected provide the converted amount, we will post the converted amount since it will be the most accurate conversion rate. For example, if Amazon converted your CAD sales to USD for deposit to your bank account, we utilize the USD amounts and the conversion rate used by Amazon.

Conversion Within QuickBooks​

Otherwise, if there are sales or deposits outside of your home currency, the conversion occurs within QuickBooks. QuickBooks Online provides the capability to convert foreign currencies to your home currency to ensure accurate reporting.

Activating Multicurrency in QuickBooks​

To activate the multicurrency setting within QuickBooks Online, follow these steps:
