Create a Test Company Account for QuickBooks Online Development and QA Testing

Question

I need to get a number of test accounts (companies) for QuickBooks Online so that we can finish developing and testing our app. We have reached out to Intuit in order to try and obtain these and have been told to just use 30-day trials. These periods are too short for our development cycle so we purchased accounts to use. These accounts have been shut off / locked on us and we are just getting vague answers as to why. We would love to know why so that we can stop doing any possible harmful activity, but alas it has been difficult to get any information in regards to that. Our developers are more than happy to work with their engineers to make this happen.

Does anyone know how we can get test accounts so that we can test our application?

I hope that the answer is not the same as this StackOverflow Question. We need test accounts to successfully test our application before we move forward.

Answer 1

You can't get true "test" (e.g. non-production accounts) from QuickBooks. They won't give you access to that environment.

If you're an IPP/Intuit Anywhere developer, submit a support ticket to Intuit with a request for a 1-year development instance of QuickBooks Online. They will send you a coupon code for a one-year free trial.

Otherwise, you're SOL.

Answer 2

You can get Sandbox account for QuickBooks Online.

1. Register and log in to https://developer.intuit.com.

2. In the Menu, Navigate to API Docs & Tools > Sandbox (Link)

You can able to create up to 5 different companies for testing.
