The Story

We built this because
we lived the problem.

Work Horse Integrations spent years watching growing businesses hit the same wall: their accounting lived in QuickBooks Desktop, but the rest of their operation — sales, inventory, fulfillment — lived somewhere else. The result? Hours of manual re-entry. Costly errors. Missed deadlines.

So we built QBD Connect — a REST API platform that sits between QuickBooks Desktop and any application, syncing data automatically. No desktop agents. No complicated middleware. Just a clean, reliable connection built on Intuit’s recommended approach.

QuickBooks Desktop Integration — Everything You Need to Know

QuickBooks Desktop remains one of the most widely used accounting platforms for small and mid-sized businesses across the United States. Despite its power, many organizations struggle to connect it with the other tools they depend on — from e-commerce platforms to CRM systems and ERP solutions. QBD Connect was built to solve exactly that problem.

What Is a QuickBooks Desktop API?

A QuickBooks Desktop API is a programmatic interface that allows external applications to read from and write to a QuickBooks Desktop company file. Unlike QuickBooks Online, which offers a native cloud-based API, QuickBooks Desktop requires a specialized connector to bridge the gap between the desktop application and the broader software ecosystem. QBD Connect provides that bridge — offering a RESTful API that supports real-time, bi-directional data synchronization.

Which Versions of QuickBooks Desktop Are Supported?

QBD Connect is compatible with all editions of QuickBooks Desktop, including:

QuickBooks Desktop Pro — ideal for single-user environments and small teams
QuickBooks Desktop Premier — supports industry-specific workflows and multi-user access
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise — built for larger organizations with advanced reporting and scalability needs

Common QuickBooks Desktop Integration Use Cases

Businesses use QBD Connect for a wide range of integration scenarios, including syncing sales orders from e-commerce platforms, pushing customer records from a CRM into QuickBooks, automating invoice generation from project management tools, and keeping inventory levels in sync across fulfillment and accounting systems.

Why Choose QBD Connect Over Other QuickBooks Integrations?

Many QuickBooks Desktop integration tools rely on outdated COM-based connectors or require complex on-premises middleware. QBD Connect takes a modern, cloud-first approach — using a lightweight agent and a RESTful API — that is faster to deploy, easier to maintain, and more reliable at scale. It is built on an approach recommended by Intuit and is backed by Work Horse Integrations, a certified integration partner.
