Map Shopify → QuickBooks: DocNumber = order_id; TxnDate = created_at; Customer = customer.email/name; Line items: description = line_items.title, qty = line_items.quantity, rate = line_items.price; Taxes: send TaxLine with TaxRateRef (use QuickBooks tax IDs) or set TaxCodeRef; Shipping = separate line (ItemRef = Shipping).
Avoid duplicates: Do a Find Invoice/SalesReceipt by DocNumber or custom field before Create (Find/Create/upsert). For retries: log failures to Storage or a Google Sheet and run a scheduled Zap that reprocesses rows with an attempt counter and exponential backoff.
