QuickBooks Integration · updated 2026-08-22

# How to connect QuickBooks Online

One click sends you to Intuit, you choose your QuickBooks company, and the sync starts automatically. Only company admins can connect.

## Before you start

- A QuickBooks Online subscription (any plan: Simple Start, Essentials, Plus or Advanced)
- Admin or owner role in Dumpster Controls

1. ## Open the QuickBooks tab
  Go to Account and open the QuickBooks tab in the Payments group. If you do not see the tab, the integration is not enabled for your account yet; contact support.
2. ## Click Connect QuickBooks
  You are redirected to Intuit. Sign in with the Intuit account that owns your QuickBooks company.
3. ## Choose your company and authorize
  Pick the QuickBooks company you want to connect and click Connect. Intuit sends you back to Dumpster Controls and the tab shows a green Connected badge with your QuickBooks company name.
4. ## Done: new activity syncs automatically
  From this moment, new customers, invoices, payments and refunds flow to QuickBooks within a couple of minutes. Historical data from before the connection is not sent automatically, so your existing books stay untouched.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The software is free: dispatch, online booking, the driver app, invoicing, the Tresha AI assistant and every other feature, with no monthly fee, no trial period and no credit card to sign up. The only cost on the free plan is optional card processing when a customer pays by card through the platform: 2.99% plus $3.99 per transaction on the free plan. An optional Unlimited plan at $169 per month lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30. Prices as published on dumpstercontrols.io/pricing on 2026-09-23.

### Do you charge per driver, per truck or per order?

No. There is no per-driver, per-truck, per-user or per-order fee, and no order limit. A company with one truck and a company with twenty pay the same for the software: nothing.

### Is there a contract?

No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no setup fee. You create the account yourself, and on the free plan there is nothing to cancel because nothing is billed. The optional Unlimited plan is billed month to month.

### Which countries and languages are supported?

Dumpster Controls serves hauling companies in the United States and Canada. The app interface and the Tresha AI assistant are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The public pages, such as the blog, the help center and the landfill finder, are in English.

### How do I switch from another dumpster software?

Create a free account at dumpstercontrols.io/login, with no sales call and no credit card. Then import your customers from a CSV file using the template provided in the app; past orders can also be imported from a CSV. Container sizes and pricing are set up in Settings. The landfill database, with 1,750 active US and Canadian landfills as counted on 2026-10-01, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
