<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">There is no single cause. Multiple triggers can break the connection between your Etsy store and QuickBooks.</p>
<h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">1. Discontinued Etsy Connector by Intuit</h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Intuit officially discontinued the native Etsy Connector for QuickBooks Self Employed.

<h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">2. Expired OAuth Authorization</h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Etsy uses OAuth tokens to allow third-party apps access.

<h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">3. Mismatched Account Credentials</h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Logging into QuickBooks with a different email than what is linked to your Etsy authorization can cause the integration to fail silently.</p>
<h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">4. App Permission Changes on Etsy</h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">If you updated your Etsy privacy or app settings, permissions for QuickBooks may have been removed without a clear notification.</p>
<h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">5. Outdated QuickBooks App Version</h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Running an older version of the QuickBooks mobile or desktop app can prevent proper API communication with Etsy.</p>
