FAQs

What happened to marketplace.intuit.com?

Intuit completely revamped Intuit Marketplace (marketplace.intuit.com), the existing web store for apps that work with the desktop versions of QuickBooks. Both our customers and our developer community has been asking for improvements to this marketplace for some time. We have heard these concerns and have acted upon them. Visits to marketplace.intuit.com now redirect to desktop.apps.com.

I thought you were focusing on SaaS apps and Apps.com. Why are you refreshing the desktop marketplace now, after all this time?

Intuit recognizes that the future of small business accounting is in the cloud. New customers are onboarding to QuickBooks Online faster than ever before, at a much faster rate than the desktop version of our products. Because of this, we are very focused on providing a rich variety of SaaS apps to meet every need of our QuickBooks Online customers in the QuickBooks App Store at apps.com. However, at the same time, we are committed to offering to our existing QuickBooks desktop customers the best app selections to meet their needs. The new “Apps for QuickBooks Desktop” marketplace will do that.
