Connecting to QuickBooks Online IPP

Question

I am making a QuickBooks Online app. How do my customers obtain this information:

• Access Key
• Access Key Secret
• Consumer Key
• Consumer Key Secret

My docs are here:

In my Intuit developer portal, I have these 4 pieces of information. I have an app profile:

https://ipp.developer.intuit.com/0010_Intuit_Partner_Platform/0025_Intuit_Anywhere/0020_Connect/Create_An_App_Profile

Will each customer have a different access key, access key secret, consumer key and consumer key secret? Based on my experience, it appears only realmId (Company ID) changes and the other info stays the same.

Answer 1

When you create an app profile as per the instructions provided on this page -https://ipp.developer.intuit.com/0010_Intuit_Partner_Platform/0025_Intuit_Anywhere/0020_Connect/Create_An_App_Profile you would be provided with a consumer key and secret. You would need to use this key for the oauth handshake to obtain the access token and secret.

Every user will be provided a new access token and secret, but the consumer key/secret will be the same for all users of your app.
