Understand the QuickBooks App Store badges

When you browse the QuickBooks App Store, you want to find the right tools to connect with QuickBooks and help your business thrive. To make your search easier, we’ve introduced App Partner Badges.

These badges highlight integrations (or apps) that stand out in areas like customer satisfaction, accountant preference, automation, and popularity. When you see a badge on an integration card, it means the developer has met strict programmatic criteria to earn that recognition.

Here is a breakdown of what each badge means and how our partners earn them.

Accountant Favorite

Accounting professionals rely on tools that are accurate, dependable, and make managing finances easier. When you see the Accountant Favorite badge, it means this integration is highly trusted by accountants and bookkeepers to manage their clients' books. If the pros trust it for the long haul, you can feel confident integrating it into your own workflow.

How it's earned

To earn the Accountant Favorite badge, an app must demonstrate sustained excellence specifically within the accounting community. The partner must achieve:

• A minimum number of reviews submitted directly by accounting professionals.
• An average rating of 4.0 or higher (out of 5.0) from those accountant reviews.
• An average active connection length of greater than one year among their accountant users, proving the app provides lasting, long-term value.
