How to Connect Finale Inventory to ConnectBooks

Connect your Finale Inventory account to ConnectBooks with an API key, API secret and account name.

You'll need 3 things from Finale: an API key, an API secret, and your account name.

You also need a ConnectBooks Diamond or Platinum plan. Otherwise, clicking Connect asks you to upgrade.

  5. Copy the API Key and the API Secret.

Step 2: Find your account name

Look at the web address when you're logged in to Finale. It starts like this:

Your account name is the part right after app.finaleinventory.com/. In this example, it's abccompany.

Step 3: Connect in ConnectBooks

  1. Go to Integrations and click Connect on Finale Inventory.

  2. Pick the stores to sync and click Next.

  3. Paste your key in Api Key and your secret in Api Secret.

  4. In Account Name, type only your account name (for example, abccompany).

  5. Click "Connect to Finale Inventory".
