How to Bulk Upload Files
About the bulk upload option
When you get to the file upload page you have the option to upload just one file, or many files at once. If you choose to bulk upload files then your contacts details and selected package will apply to all files uploaded, saving you lots of time if you have many to convert in one go.
Note that:
- The same selected package will be applied to all files. If you want to receive different amounts of transactional history then you need to group the files into 'like' batches for uploading.
- The same contact details will be applied to all files. If you want have different contacts on the conversions then you need to group the files into 'like' batches for uploading.
- It will only work if the source accounting software type is the same. We cannot process bulk uploads with a mix of types e.g. MYOB, QBO, Reckon etc.
- You cannot bulk upload a mix of desktop and online files.
- If you select a paid premium package it will be applied to all conversions and you will have to pay for them all via credit card to proceed - though you will only need to pay once for the entire upload.
