QuickBooks SDK Highlights

The QuickBooks Software Development Kit (SDK) allows you to reach millions of customers who trust and use QuickBooks, the leading small business accounting software.

Never Enter Data Twice! (NED2 ^TM)
Small businesses are often stretched thin, and their main focus is their customers and their operations—they can't afford to enter the same figures twice, risking error and loss of data.

• The SDK enables your application to share data directly with QuickBooks: no need to enter the same data twice!
• Integration is transparent: the communication between your application and QuickBooks takes place behind the scenes.
• Your customer gets the best of both worlds: the power and efficiency of QuickBooks, combined with the advanced tailoring of your application to specific business needs.

Develop Applications Quickly
The QuickBooks SDK is designed to be easy to learn and easy to use. Key features include:

• A single SDK for all QuickBooks editions (both U.S. and Canada): One QuickBooks SDK works with almost all QuickBooks products, including QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Enterprise, industry-specific editions such as Contractor and Nonprofit Editions, and QuickBooks Online Edition. (The QuickBooks SDK works with QuickBooks Release 2002 and beyond.)
• Based on programming standards such as XML (eXtensible Markup Language), COM (Component Object Model), and HTTPS (for communication over the Internet).
• Compatible with most programming languages
  (Visual Basic, C, C++, C#).

Reach the Broad Base of QuickBooks Customers
Because it supports all versions of QuickBooks, the SDK allows you to market your product to a wide audience segment of QuickBooks users.
