Desktop pro moving to Online only

In 2 years I will have to move from Quickbooks Desktop pro to the Online version or a competing application.  I found this link that shows all the items that are stripped out of the desktop version to go to the online.

Curious, what has been added?

@BobWinner ,

 

Here are the QBO demo links so that you can immediately begin to check out the capabilities that matter to your business, compare with other platforms, and plan while you have time.

Due to technical limitations, you must migrate the following data types manually or can purchase a third-party conversion service.

1..Payroll

2. Attachment

3. Quotes/Estimates/Purchase Orders

4. Inventories

5. Supplier/Vendor bank details

These say that they I do not have an online account, which I do not, so I cannot see them.

If you need help to migrate data (including the data type I mentioned earlier) from QB Desktop to QB Online or another cloud based accounting app, contact us in private for assistance.

 

Anyway, why would you consider leaving QB Desktop? You can setup a simple private cloud solution if required.

I prefer to stay with the Desktop version, but I hear it is all moving to the online version.  Is this not correct?  I have been a QB Desktop user since 1995.  I also use it for payroll

The company is the one who prefers to migrate all QBD users to QBO. As long as the features in QBO do not match those of QBD, users will continue or switch to use QBD.

Hello @BobWinner.

 

Welcome to the Community. Thank you for being a longtime QuickBooks user. I can appreciate wanting to continue to use QuickBooks Desktop. When you are familiar with a product, its navigation, and features, it makes your workflow so easy.

 

QuickBooks Online is easy and convenient to use and you can access your software from any computer or mobile device. In our fast-paced business environment having the flexibility to work on the go is an asset for many small businesses. 

 

Having said that, we currently do not have plans to discontinue QuickBooks Desktop completely in the foreseeable future. 

 

If you're curious and would like to check out QuickBooks Online, we have a free 30-day trial that you can take advantage of. 

 

Let me know if you have any additional questions about our software or anything else. We're here to help any time.

 

Have a great day!

So as of now,  Quickbooks Desktop 2024 will be offered.  I use Payroll as well.  I did see what they were ripping out of it to go online and was concerned as I use some of the features they were ripping out.
