Talk to the Technology CenterAbout the QuickBooks Desktop integration
QuickBooks Desktop (Pro, Premier and Enterprise) is Intuit's on-premise ledger, still common with US mid-size firms. A desktop agent connects company files to the Unify Accounting API.
QuickBooks Desktop has no cloud API: integrations run through the QuickBooks Web Connector and the qbXML SDK on the machine that hosts the company file. Unify Int delivers it as a Technology Center build with a desktop agent that syncs accounts, customers, vendors, invoices and bills on a schedule.
