how to integrate quickbook desktop application with website

Question

I am new at Quick Book, now I am preparing one Admin panel ( Online website) in which I have to integrate with Quick Book Desktop version.

• I am making this website with .NET ( C#) platform.

There are some posts here, but still the things are not clear to me.

My requirement in short : "We need to send Provider name which is vendor, Date, Invoice number or account ref, Amount paid in the quickbook. Once the amount is paid via quickbook it will appear in the payments section with the mode of payment e.g. Credit card, cash or cheque. I mean it will show the updated status at the website."

1) Which are the way I can communicate/integrate with Desktop QB from my website? 2) What are their processes in detail? 3) Is there anything I need to change?
4) Any Sample code ?

Waiting for your positive responses and help.

Thank you!

Answer 1

You will need to use QB Web Connector to get data from your desktop company file to your web server.

The Web Connector is explained in more details in the QBWC Programmers Guide included in the QBXML SDK. https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0250_qb/0020_get_set_up/sdk_downloads

There is a Web Connector server example included in the QBXML SDK.
