HoneyBook is a cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) built for small businesses. It’s an easy-to-use software built to help small business owners streamline their business processes from inquiry to invoicing. HoneyBook lets users manage projects, book clients, sign contracts online, send invoices and accept payments.
On HoneyBook users are able to view and track various stages of a project, as well as keep invoices, contracts and other documents in one place. Plus, users can respond to clients quickly and professionally with automated follow-ups using personalized templates and notifications. In addition, automated payment reminders can be sent and task reminders can be created based on the projects.
HoneyBook integrates with tools such as QuickBooks, Calendly, Zapier, Gmail and Google Calendar
Absolutely. Integrating QuickBooks Online automatically syncs your HoneyBook payments with your QuickBooks account.
Here’s how it works:
When clients pay you through HoneyBook, the integration automatically creates an invoice and payment in QuickBooks.
As deposits land in your bank account, those payments will appear in your banking section of QuickBooks. We also account for transaction fees for you. After you've matched a payment, you can view all transaction fees from the Expenses section in QuickBooks.
We offer a free 7-day trial to get you going—no credit card required! You’ll have full access to a HoneyBook account, allowing you to play around and make sure it’s right for your business. If you need assistance, you can live chat with our product specialists from right within the platform—or request a demo for an even more hands-on experience!
Once you decide to start your membership, our team can even help you set up your account to make sure you really hit the ground running.
