We're fans of Jobber — Pricebookr is built on a two-way Jobber integration. But if you manage hundreds or thousands of priced items, you've probably hit the edges of Jobber's products & services list:
- Bulk price changes mean CSV round-trips. Jobber's own help docs describe the workflow: export your list, edit the spreadsheet, re-import it — in chunks under 2.5MB. There's no "raise everything in this category 8%" button.
- QuickBooks US sync blocks imports. If you sync with QuickBooks Online (US), you can't update products & services by import at all — changes must be made in QuickBooks.
- One price per item. Retail vs. wholesale vs. contractor pricing means duplicate entries that drift out of sync.
- No markup schedules. There's no way to say "everything that costs under $10 gets a 300% markup" and have it applied — and re-applied when costs change.
- No price history. When a price changes, there's no record of what it was, who changed it, or a way to roll back.
None of this is a knock on Jobber — it's a CRM and operations platform, not a pricing engine. The fix isn't leaving Jobber; it's giving it a real price book.
Jobber alone vs. Jobber + Pricebookr
| Jobber alone | Jobber + Pricebookr | |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk price updates | CSV export → edit → re-import (2.5MB chunks) | Filter, preview, apply across thousands of items in one run |
| Markup / margin schedules | — | Cost-band schedules; enter markup or margin, preview, apply |
| Price tiers | One price per item | Retail / wholesale / field tiers on the same item, each syncable |
| Who sees which prices | All users see the list | Role-based access per price book (field techs see the field list) |
| Price history | — | Per-item versions + whole-catalog snapshots with rollback |
| Getting changes into Jobber | Manual | Two-way sync — import once, push updates automatically |
How the integration works
Connect Jobber in one click, import your existing products & services, set up markup schedules and price tiers, then push prices back. Pricebookr matches items by ID — never by name — so re-syncs update in place instead of creating duplicates. Every push is previewed and recorded in the audit log.
FAQ
How do I bulk-update prices in Jobber?
Natively, Jobber's products & services list is updated by exporting a CSV, editing it, and re-importing (with a 2.5MB per-import limit). If you sync with QuickBooks Online (US), imports are blocked entirely and updates must happen in QuickBooks. Pricebookr replaces that workflow: edit in bulk with filters, markup schedules, and preview, then push changes to Jobber with two-way sync.
Does Jobber support multiple price lists?
Jobber keeps one price per product or service. To quote retail and wholesale differently you'd need duplicate items. Pricebookr keeps multiple tiers (retail, wholesale, field) on the same item and syncs the right book to Jobber.
Does Pricebookr replace Jobber?
No — Pricebookr is built to complement Jobber. Jobber stays your CRM, scheduling, quoting, and invoicing platform; Pricebookr becomes the source of truth for your catalog and prices, syncing both ways.
