Introduction
In this article, we will explore the seamless integration between FreshBooks and Bitrx24, allowing you to import and synchronize your FreshBooks clients and invoices with ease. By following the steps outlined below, you can efficiently manage your invoicing process and streamline your workflow. Let's dive in!
1. Installing the App
To get started, you need to install the FreshBooks integration app from the Bitrx24 market. This app acts as a bridge between the two platforms, enabling smooth data transfer and synchronization. Head over to the Bitrx24 market and locate the FreshBooks integration app. Click on the installation button, and the app will be added to your Bitrx24 account.
2. Synchronizing FreshBooks with Bitrx24
Once the app is installed, you will be prompted to log in or register a new FreshBooks account. Choose the appropriate option and provide the necessary credentials. After logging in, you will see a few fields that need to be mapped between FreshBooks and Bitrx24. Take your time to ensure the correct mapping, as this will determine the accuracy of data synchronization.
When you have finished mapping the fields, click on the synchronization button. It is advisable to perform this procedure on a new Bitrx24 account to avoid any duplicate entries in the CRM. Depending on the number of records you have in FreshBooks, the synchronization process may take some time. Don't worry, though, as you will receive a notification once it's completed.
3. Working with FreshBooks Clients and Invoices in Bitrx24
With the synchronization complete, you can now start working with your FreshBooks clients and invoices within Bitrx24. The invoices will be automatically linked to the corresponding contacts and companies in the CRM, ensuring seamless access to all relevant information.
4. Creating a New Invoice in FreshBooks
To create a new invoice in FreshBooks, navigate to the "Create Invoice" section within the FreshBooks tab of your contact or company elements form. Please note that the invoice creation process takes place on the FreshBooks site, not within Bitrx24. However, you can conveniently add products to your invoices from the FreshBooks products list.
It's important to mention that it may take a couple of minutes for the app to pick up any changes made in FreshBooks and for new invoices to appear in your Bitrx24 account. So, if you don't see the changes immediately, give it a little time.
5. Invoicing a Client Not in FreshBooks
What if you need to invoice a client who is not yet in your FreshBooks client base? Don't worry; the integration app has got you covered. Before proceeding, double-check that the new contact is not already in FreshBooks. If it's not, you can open the "Create Invoice" section within the FreshBooks tab and refresh your FreshBooks page. You will notice that the client has been created in FreshBooks, allowing you to invoice them in the regular way.
6. Sync Direction and Database Impact
It's important to understand that the synchronization between FreshBooks and Bitrx24 is one-way only. This means that any invoices created in Bitrx24's invoices section will not appear in FreshBooks, and your Bitrx24 contacts and companies will not automatically show up in FreshBooks. However, if you create a FreshBooks invoice from Bitrx24, it will be reflected in both platforms.
This one-way sync direction is designed to minimize the impact on your FreshBooks database, which serves as a reference in this workflow scenario.

In summary, the FreshBooks integration app provides a seamless connection between FreshBooks and Bitrx24, allowing you to import and synchronize your clients and invoices effortlessly. By leveraging this integration, you can streamline your invoicing process and ensure data consistency across both platforms.
