6. Complete Account Mapping​

Now that your Dutchie store is connected to Bookkeep, you need to map the journal entry templates to accounts in your accounting platform (e.g., QuickBooks Online).

Click "Setup" to expand the dropdown, then click "Map" for each journal entry template you want to configure. Bookkeep offers two journal entry templates for Dutchie:

After completing the mappings, toggle each journal entry template to "ON" to activate daily journal entries.

7. Configure Time Zone Settings​

Click "Configure" in the dropdown to set the correct time zone and end of day for your connected store:

  • Nickname: Give your connection a recognizable name (e.g., your store name)
  • End of Day: Leave this as "Midnight" to match a standard 24-hour period
  • Timezone: Select the timezone that matches your Dutchie store's timezone
note

The timezone in your Bookkeep settings MUST match the timezone configured in your Dutchie dashboard to ensure all entries are reflected properly in your accounting platform, including beginning and ending balances.

8. Activate Journal Entries​

Once you have:

  • Mapped both journal entry templates
  • Configured your timezone settings
  • Set the templates to "ON"

Journal entries will begin posting to your accounting platform the next day!
