Do you need purchasing a license of QuickBooks Desktop or else?
Let's understand first the difference between the desktop and online version so you can choose the one that suits your business needs, bbgtllc-accts.
QuickBooks Online (QBO) is cloud-based software where users can access reports anywhere from multiple devices as long as they have access to the Internet. While QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) can only be accessed from a computer if it's installed on regardless of Internet connection.
You'll want to download and install QuickBooks Desktop if you want to use QuickBooks on offline mode. Please read this article for information: Locate Your License Or Product Number.

Until now I was using the online option of QB which was through the Internet & now if I download the app & instal it on my desktop & use like pass entries in offline QB will it be updated in my company or it has to be used as online through clod platform?
Hi priti2,
I see the convenience of using QuickBooks Online (QBO) even without an internet connection. However, it's an online platform therefore you need a connection for it to work. Yes, it has a desktop app, which was discontinued on April 20, 2021, but it still needs internet.
On the other hand, we have a QuickBooks Desktop that can be used without a net. But as of now, it's only offered in the US, the UK, and Canada.
Lastly, if you want to find quick references for QBO, simply click on Help, choose Assistant, and search for topics that you need help with. Example: pay suppliers, record a bad debt, etc. We're also available all the time in the Community, so feel free to visit us back through this thread if you need further assistance.
QB Online and QB Desktop are living in 2 different realms. You may use QB Desktop and deploy a private cloud to access your data by internet connection.
