Getting Started

Getting Started with KitchenAPI

What KitchenAPI does and how to go from sign-up to your first converted invoice.

What KitchenAPI does

KitchenAPI turns your Cyncly Design Flex exports into QuickBooks-ready invoices in seconds, so you don't have to re-key line items by hand. You upload the file your design software produces, KitchenAPI maps it to the format QuickBooks expects, and you download a file ready to import.

KitchenAPI supports two QuickBooks formats:

  • QuickBooks Desktop — produces an IIF file.
  • QuickBooks Online — produces a CSV file.

The basic flow

  1. 1Sign up with your name, company, and email. You'll confirm your email with a one-time code each time you sign in (KitchenAPI is passwordless).
  2. 2Create a pipeline — a saved setup that knows your output format and how your fields map.
  3. 3Upload a Cyncly export and review the fields.
  4. 4Generate your QuickBooks file and download it.
  5. 5Import the file into QuickBooks.

Each of these steps has its own help article. If you'd rather have us set everything up for you, see White-Glove Setup.

What you'll need

  • A Cyncly Design Flex export file (XML).
  • A QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online account to import into.
