Question

zaps connect with quickbooks online, can I connect to QB desktop?

I really don’t want to use QB online.  My desktop version does everything I need it to.  However the only integration from paypal to QB is to QB online.  I need to pass my items sold so I can keep inventory current.

 

Any suggestions? I am expert enough with regex to be able to integrate text files

Hi @joannlxx 

Sadly, the way Zapier connects to apps - via something called an API - means desktop versions of apps are unlikely to ever be compatible because they don’t have an API.

    Umm- sorry, not true.  See QB Desktop API documentation here: https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbdesktop/docs/develop/exploring-the-quickbooks-desktop-sdk

      @RichardC

      You’re right, in which case it would be a case of building a custom integration via Zapier’s developer platform (guide: here)
