  2. Download CustomBooks™ import templates at the bottom of this article. We will import your data at no cost if it is in these templates. If it is it another format the charge for import is $99 for each type of data imported.
  3. Ensure that your chart of accounts is complete and final. If you need to import your chart of accounts that will need to be completed before moving to the next step.
  4. Complete the vendor import template first. Next, customers. Finally, items. Columns in red are required. All else is optional. This order is important.
