    Hi Mike, 

    At this time, exporting the bundled items is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. You'll need to enter them to record manually. 

    Also, you can import the products and services through excel file to your other QBO company file. Please check this article for the steps: How to import products and services from Excel.

    You can also send feedback to our Products Developers Team. This way, your suggestion is analyzed for future product updates. 

    If you need further assistance, please know we're here to help you.

    Hi,

     

    How long till this function is implemented, the bundle function has been around at least a couple of years. Surely mass import shouldn't be that far off or that hard to implement

      Hi there, JJL1990.

       

      Once there's new features and improvements in QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll receive an email notification about this one. This will also appear as a pop-up message when accessing your Online account.

       

      In the meantime, you can import products and services from Excel to your other QBO company file. Then, manually group or bundle them into your sister company file.

       

      I'll also personally share your product suggestion to our engineers about exporting bundled items in QBO.

      Still waiting to be able to import bundles. We have over 4.000 bundles and it would take a very long time to manually create every single one. It seems there is no progress on this in over 2 years. So disappointing Quickbooks.

      I spent 13 hours over 4 days with the QBO Priority Circle trying to understand why my Advanced account wouldn't copy over to a new Advanced account that I purchased for this specific reason. They tried everything including elevating it to a full investigation because the copy would not complete. No response from the investigation team, no surprise there, for several weeks. When I followed up, the conclusion was that the Bundles were causing the error with the Backup/copy. This means in the event of a fatal error with my account, it cannot be restored properly. This is beyond frustrating and seems to follow everyone's concern above. I wish I read these messages before spending so much time on this initiative. 

       

      THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN THE ONLY FEATURE THAT WON'T COPY OVER IS BUNDLES! Why release a feature that is half baked?!?! I'm afraid the same thing happened with Tags. Don't get me started with Reports.

        It is July 23rd, 2021 and still no bundle import option.  This is crazy to me and completely frustrating. We have over 8,000 bundles that need to be created in QuickBooks Online.  Why do we pay for advanced version if you can't even do this? Creating 8,000+bundles manually will take weeks.  Has anyone found a solution for this?

        Hey newcomer, @ProCraft. 

         

        Thanks for joining in on this thread. I hope your day is going well so far. Allow me to give you some information on importing bundles.

         

        After reviewing your post and digging deeper on my side to give you the most accurate answer, I've discovered this features isn't offered in any QuickBooks Online product. However, you can use a third party app to help you import this data. 

         

        Also, check out our blog post to get more details about bundles. 

         

        Feel free to get back here should you have additional concerns. We're always delighted to help.

        It is now January 2025. It’s been over six years since this question was asked, and bundles still cannot be imported into or exported from QuickBooks Online.

        It seems safe for me to assume that Intuit will never implement this feature.
