Hi there, @Oxxy.

 

Let me enlighten you about QuickBooks Desktop and help you from there.

 

QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) allows you to choose which location you want to store the data when installing the software. If you want to save the data into a local drive, you can only see those data on your computer. 

 

While storing your data through a server, it'll let you share the data on a different computer. However, you'll have to install a multi-user network for QBDT.

 

On the other hand, QBDT does have a pricing plan which is a one-time payment and has a 3-year lifecycle. You can check out this link to know the comparison of each plan: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop/.

 

Also, QBDT allows integration with a number of third-party apps and software. In your case, since you're trying to integrate QBDT with other systems, I recommend reaching out to their customer support. This way, you can ask them if they can sync the information from QuickBooks.

 

You might want to read this article to know more about QuickBooks Desktop: Get started with QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Please know you can continue to reach me here with any additional questions. Thanks for coming to the Community, wishing you continued success.

This is Quickbooks server or it have to be our server?

 

if it is Quickbooks server can the integrated system interacte via API with Quickbooks ?

Hello @Oxxy,

 

Hosting your company file in multi-user access requires the QuickBooks serve be included in the installation package you've purchased.

 

Here's an article you can read to learn more about the QuickBooks server: Install QuickBooks Database Server Manager.

 

While it is using the QuickBooks server, I'd also recommend checking our Developer Support forum. From there, someone can help you and share what steps you need to follow for API integration in QuickBooks. To do so:

  1. Go to the Developer Support page.
  2. Tap QuickBooks Desktop.
  3. Hit Ask a QUestion.

I've got you this helpful article for updates from our developers: Developer Support Blog.

 

Please touch base with me here for all of your QuickBooks needs, I'm always happy to help. Thanks for dropping by.

@Oxxy 

When you are installing QBD, you will have 3 options: 

1. Install as a stand-alone or client

2. Install as a host (you are working in the same machine and storing the file to let others access it in multi-user mode)

3. Install server as storage only

 

Then you may consider deploying a private cloud to let users access your local data file by internet connection.
