Question

Quickbooks Desktop REST API

  • November 17, 2021

We currently use Method CRM as a means to get REST API access to our Quickbooks Desktop transactions but we've had issues with their service lately and would like to find another application that does the same sort of thing. Can anyone recommend another application that sits alongside Quickbooks Desktop and syncs transactions that also provides an easy-to-use REST API?

Let's find an application that works best with QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @mcperr3.

 

There are lots of apps that work perfectly with QBDT. You can look for a third-party app from our Apps for QuickBooks Desktop. Just choose the right application that suits your business.

 

After looking for that application, you can check with their Customer Support on how to sync or integrate it with QBDT. 

 

In the meantime, here are different ways on how you can track transactions in QBDT: Get started with customer transaction workflows in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

I'm always here if you need more help looking for the perfect app that suits your needs. Take care and have a wonderful day!

Hi Mary - 

 

Thank you for your reply. I took a look at the apps in your link and filtered by the 'data sync' category but it looks like a lot of these are for Quickbooks Online and not Quickbooks Desktop. Is there any way to filter down to just QBDT apps?

 

It seems that what Method CRM is doing is pretty rare. I can't seem to find another app that does the same thing. Specifically, I'm looking for an app that syncs all of our transaction tables from QBDT (Invoice, InvoiceLine, Salesorder, SalesorderLine, etc) and also provides us a REST API interface in order to work with those transactions. 

 

Instead of clicking through each of those apps in your link, I figured it'd be quicker to ask if someone had experience with an app that does what we're looking for.

Thanks for getting back with the Community, mcperr3.

 

I've reviewed the link provided by MaryJoyD and can confirm all apps available there are for QuickBooks Desktop.

 

While you're researching them to find one that may work for your business, I'd recommend reading their features, reviews, questions, etc. This will help you to better understand how each application works.

 

You'll also be able to find many detailed resources about using QuickBooks in our help article archives.

 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely day!

Bumping this thread. Are there really no other apps that sync your QB data that provide a REST API? Because I can't find one.

@mcperr3 

What kind of 3rd party app do you need to integrate with QBD?

Conductor is exactly what you are looking for! It provides a REST API and even a fully-typed Node.js SDK to create, read, or update every QuickBooks Desktop data type. It is very easy to set up.
