eCOMpal Desktop Documentation

1. Interface to QuickBooks Pro and Premier versions 2002, 2003 and later.

2. Interface to UPS's WorldShip® to print shipping documents

3. Print shipping labels if your using the Post Office or other shipping means.

The process is the same for all three. It starts with downloading data from eCOMPal.

The first time you start the program, you'll see the setup screen. Here's the information for the setup screen, click here.

 When you start, you'll see this screen.

To get started, all you do is enter your User Id, your password and click the Start Update button. The process will start by contacting eCOMpal and will determine which options you've selected. Assuming you selected at least one of the options (QuickBooks, Quicken, UPS WorldShip, Labels, or Stamps) it will download all your orders that have not been previously downloaded.

Depending on which options you've selected, it will perform the appropriate actions.

If you've selected the QuickBooks option, it will create customers, items, and invoices. If you've checked the "Don't Add Payment Record" box, it will NOT create a payment record for the invoice. Otherwise it will create a paid invoice. These invoices can be printed in QuickBooks so you can send a copy of the invoice to your customer along with whatever goods you're shipping to them. The QuickBooks interface is very automatic.

The interface to UPS WorldShip is just as automatic. When the orders are downloaded, a set of records is created in a format the WorldShip recognizes. Find out more about the UPS WorldShip desktop.

Printing labels through the eCOMpal Desktop is also very straightforward. Here's more information about printing labels with the eCOMpal Desktop.
