Chrome extension setup

Install RachelsTools in a few simple steps.

Add RachelsTools from the official Chrome Web Store, confirm the permissions shown by Chrome and keep the extension within easy reach.

Before you start

Use Chrome on a desktop computer.

Chrome extensions are installed on a desktop or laptop. You cannot add an extension while browsing as a Guest or in an Incognito window.

If your computer is managed by an employer or school, an administrator may need to allow the extension before you can install it.

Open Chrome Web Store extensions

Step 1

Find RachelsTools in the Chrome Web Store.

Open the Chrome Web Store search, select the RachelsTools listing and check that the name and publisher are correct before continuing.

First use

Open your accounting software and look for RT.

Open QuickBooks Online or Xero in Chrome. If the accounting page was already open during installation, refresh it once. Select the RT icon when you need the RachelsTools menu or settings.

  1. 1

    Open QuickBooks Online or Xero in the same Chrome browser where you installed RachelsTools.

  2. 2

    Refresh any existing accounting tabs so the newly installed extension can start.

  3. 3

    Select the RT icon and follow any setup message shown for your company.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot install or see the extension.

No “Add to Chrome” button

Make sure you are using a current desktop version of Chrome and are not in Guest or Incognito mode.

Installation is blocked

A managed work or school computer may restrict extensions. Ask your administrator to allow RachelsTools.

The RT icon is hidden

Open Chrome’s Extensions menu and pin RachelsTools. You can still open an unpinned extension from that menu.

Nothing appears in QuickBooks or Xero

Refresh the accounting tab. If needed, close and reopen Chrome, then confirm RachelsTools is enabled in Chrome’s extension manager.
