Once your Pemo–QuickBooks integration is connected, you can start exporting expenses seamlessly. Pemo automatically sends all key details, including receipts to QuickBooks, so your books stay accurate with minimal manual effort.

1. What’s required for export
To export a card transaction expense to QuickBooks, make sure you’ve added:

If any of these are missing, the export may fail or the transaction will stay in your Pemo export queue.
