Being an ideal accounting software, QuickBooks consists of many users. Those users store a great amount of data. So, when a user creates their QuickBooks Online account, they are provided with a customized company ID. This is to find them easily and recover their data. Your Company ID may include the name of your firm, numbers or letters, or an abbreviation. The QuickBooks Online Company ID helps you access your QuickBooks Online account with ease.
It is possible for a user to have multiple company files. This means that they have different Intuit accounts or they have been using various company files under the same name. So, when they try to sync with the Cloud Cart Connector, it is likely that they may sync with the wrong file. This makes having the right company ID and password an important factor. The unique identification helps to match the user’s login to their company.

Why Keep Company Information
It is important to attain the company information as this affects the information of the contact that shows up on the sales receipts, invoices, and the estimates sent by the user to the customers. So, if the user does not complete the setup, they will most certainly face the issue. For instance, if the user sends an invoice to their customer and expects a mail to verify but the user has not set the contact information in the company settings, then the mailing address will not include all the necessary information. Due to this, the customers will not know where to send the payment. This will cause a delay in the payment process and the workflow.
