As you plan your growth, keep in mind that QuickBooks is limited to 14,500 orders, customers and products. Even the Enterprise version of QB is limited to 30,000 of each. That's less than 100 orders per day to reach capacity in one year. It may be adequate for you now, but most successful ecommerce business will hit that limit before long, and then you are stuck!
The solution is to use a program like our Stone Edge Order Manager (
www.StoneEdge.com/OrderManager.htm) to manage your daily operations - customers, orders, inventory, etc. - and just use QuickBooks for tax accounting and balancing your checkbook. The Order Manager sends daily summaries of sales, cost-of-goods, sales tax, shipping charges, etc. to QB as journal entries, to you never hit QB's capacity limitations.
