The Problem
When Dubsado Holds Your Clients but Not Your List, Board, or Books
Dubsado integrations usually come up when inquiries still arrive by email, your newsletter list falls behind, and your bookkeeper chases invoices Dubsado already marked paid.
Website
Contact form inquiries land in your inbox, not Dubsado.
Website
Dubsado's lead capture form sits on your site, so each inquiry opens a project.
Email list
New leads join your newsletter only when you remember.
Email list
A Zapier step adds each new lead to MailerLite, Kit, or Mailchimp with a tag.
Projects
Every signed contract means a Trello card and folder by hand.
Projects
The Contract Signed trigger opens the card and the Google Drive folder for you.
Books
Your bookkeeper rebuilds invoices Dubsado already marked paid.
Books
QuickBooks Online receives each paid invoice and payment from Dubsado's own sync.
A couple fills in the contact form on your website, and it lands in your inbox, not in Dubsado. You copy their names and wedding date into a new project. Later you add them to MailerLite by hand, if you remember. The contract gets signed, so you open a Trello card and a Google Drive folder yourself. Then the retainer comes in, and your bookkeeper asks for the invoice again because QuickBooks didn't get it. None of it is hard. All of it is retyping, and your list keeps falling behind.
We start by making your Dubsado lead capture form the only way in, embedded on your Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, or Showit site. Then we connect what Dubsado supports natively: your calendar, Gmail, Stripe or Square, PayPal, and QuickBooks Online. The gaps run on Dubsado's Zapier triggers, so a new lead joins your list and a signed contract opens the Trello card. Your evenings go to clients, not copy and paste.
One form feeds Dubsado
Your website inquiry form is Dubsado's own, so every new lead becomes a project automatically.
Handoffs on real moments
New lead, signed contract, and payment received each trigger the next tool through Dubsado's Zapier app.
Paid invoices reach QuickBooks
Dubsado's QuickBooks Online sync posts each paid invoice and payment, matched to the client's email.
Our Dubsado Integrations Process
From Inquiry Map to Connected Tools in Five Steps
You see every step a client takes, approve the form and the bookkeeping rules, and watch test projects move through each tool before anything touches real clients.
We trace one client from inquiry to final payment: your site form, inbox, Dubsado projects, email list, task board, and books. You get a map of which handoffs Dubsado covers natively, which need Zapier, and whether your plan includes them.

DeveloperLook vs DIY Zapier vs a Virtual Assistant
Building zaps yourself is cheap and fine for one or two. A virtual assistant can retype data carefully, but you pay for it every month. Here's where each one holds up.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | DIY Zapier | Virtual assistant |
|---|---|---|---|
| Journey review | Every handoff mapped first | Built as needs come up | Follows your checklist |
| Native vs Zapier | Native connections used first | Often zaps for everything | Retypes instead of syncing |
| Email list sync | Tagged by service automatically | Possible with setup time | Added by hand each week |
| Testing | Test projects through every zap | Real clients find the bugs | Spot checks |
| When something breaks | Error alerts and zap history | Noticed weeks later | Depends on their hours |
| Setup time | 1 to 2 weeks per brand | A weekend for one zap | Onboarding in a few days |
| Ownership | Your Dubsado and Zapier accounts | Your accounts | Your accounts, shared logins |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites and client tools for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Creative Studios Trust Us With Dubsado
A missed inquiry or a duplicate invoice costs you a client's trust. These habits keep our Dubsado setups easy to check, easy to change, and quiet when they work.
Dubsado's own tools first
We use Dubsado's native calendar, email, payment, and bookkeeping connections before any zap. If Dubsado's embed code already covers your case, we'll tell you before we quote.
Plan checked before scoping
Zapier, workflows, schedulers, and bookkeeping need Dubsado Premier. We check your plan in the free review, so you don't pay for a zap your plan can't run.
Test projects, not clients
Every zap runs on test projects first. Real inquiries start flowing only after you've seen the email list, board, and books update correctly.
Alerts when a zap fails
Zaps can stop when a login expires. We send error alerts to your inbox, so a broken handoff gets fixed quickly instead of surfacing at tax time.
Your accounts stay yours
We work through access you grant in Dubsado, Zapier, and your website. You keep every account and API key, and we hand back access at the end.
Price agreed before work
Your scope and fixed price come in writing after the free review. If a new handoff comes up mid-project, we quote it before building it.

Good fit
Photographers booking from a Squarespace site
Your contact page still sends inquiries to your inbox, so you retype each one into Dubsado. A Squarespace Dubsado integration puts the lead form on that page.
Planners growing a MailerLite list
You collect inquiries in Dubsado but add each lead to MailerLite by hand. A Dubsado MailerLite integration tags them by service the moment they inquire.
Coaches sending a Kit newsletter
Your freebie list lives in Kit (formerly ConvertKit), and new Dubsado clients don't join it. A Dubsado ConvertKit integration adds them with the right tag.
Studios running projects in Trello
You open a Trello card and a Google Drive folder by hand after every signed contract. A Dubsado Trello integration does both the moment the client signs.
Agencies managing Dubsado for clients
Your agency sets up Dubsado for several wedding vendors and needs each client's forms, lists, and books wired the same way under your brand.
Not a fit
One form, budget under $600
Your budget is under $600 and you only need one lead form on one page. Dubsado's own embed code covers that, and we'll tell you before we quote.
Still choosing a studio CRM
You haven't decided between Dubsado and another studio tool yet. Our CRM for photographers page covers choosing and setting up the right one first.
Proposal-led accounting firm
Your firm sends engagement letters and bills recurring fees to accounting clients. Our Ignition integration page covers proposal-to-cash setups built for accountants.
Books on QuickBooks Desktop
Your books run on QuickBooks Desktop, which Dubsado doesn't sync with. Our QuickBooks integration services page covers Desktop connections and export routes.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on Dubsado's QuickBooks, Stripe, PayPal, Google, and Trello connections, website forms, and what your plan needs.
Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
DeveloperLook's Dubsado setups start at $600 for one brand: the website form, calendar, email, and payment connections, and one email list sync. Adding up to 6 Zapier handoffs and a QuickBooks Online or Xero check starts at $1,700. Setups for up to 3 brands start at $3,550. Your Dubsado and Zapier subscriptions are billed separately by each company.
A form and list sync for one brand takes 1 to 2 weeks, including test inquiries. Zapier handoffs and the bookkeeping check add 1 to 2 weeks, and multi-brand setups take 3 to 6 weeks. Your bookkeeper's review of tax codes and client matching is usually the step that sets the pace.
Yes. Dubsado's lead capture forms give you an embed code and a direct link from the form's Sharing tab, and each submission creates a contact and a project. For a Squarespace Dubsado integration, we paste the embed into a Code Block and set the frame height so phones show no scroll bar. Starter allows 1 active form, and Premier allows unlimited.
Yes, partly natively and partly through Zapier. Google Calendar, Gmail, and Google Meet connect inside Dubsado's settings. Dubsado lists no native Drive, Sheets, or Contacts link, so those run on its Zapier triggers, which need the Premier plan. That covers a Dubsado Google Sheets integration, a Drive folder per project, and a Dubsado Google Contacts integration.
Yes, with QuickBooks Online on the Premier plan. Dubsado's sync is one-way: invoices post once the client pays, along with their payments, and clients are matched to QuickBooks customers by email. Expenses don't sync, and QuickBooks Desktop isn't supported. We import your tax codes and run a test invoice before your bookkeeper relies on it.
Yes. Dubsado Payments is powered by Stripe and takes cards, ACH, Klarna, Affirm, and Tap to Pay. Dubsado's help center lists US card fees of 2.9% plus $0.30 and ACH at 0.8% capped at $5, as of October 2026. You can use Dubsado Payments or Square, not both, and autopay on payment plans needs one of them.
Yes, PayPal connects in Dubsado's payment settings next to Dubsado Payments or Square. Clients can then pick PayPal or a card when they pay an invoice. Autopay on payment plans still needs a card processor. So we usually keep Stripe or Square as the main option and offer PayPal to clients who ask for it.
Not natively, but a Dubsado Trello integration works through Zapier. We use Dubsado's Contract Signed or Project Status Updated trigger to open a Trello card on the right board, with the client's name, event date, and project link. The same zap can create the project's Google Drive folder, so your team starts from one place.
Not a public developer API, as of October 2026. Dubsado's documented route is its Zapier app: an Admin or Owner creates an API key under Settings and then Connections, on the Premier plan. Zapier offers 5 triggers (new lead, new job, payment received, contract signed, status updated) and 1 action, Create Project.
A new lead in Dubsado triggers a Zapier step that adds the person to your MailerLite group, tagged with the service they asked about. The same pattern gives you a Dubsado ConvertKit integration with Kit, or a Dubsado Mailchimp integration with an audience tag. Signed clients can then move to a past-clients group without anyone touching it.
