Developer Portal, Redesigned App Store and More
Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) unveiled a range of innovations at
QuickBooks Connect this week to further its vision to be the global
trusted platform of choice for developers building apps for small
businesses and accounting professionals.
The new tools and experiences showcased at the fifth annual
conference include:
- A new developer portal that makes it

seamlessly with QuickBooks Online.

experience, which helps small businesses and accounting
professionals find the right app at the right time to personalize
QuickBooks to meet the needs of any business.

integrations for payments, time tracking and employee benefits use
cases within QuickBooks.
“Our developer community is critical to Intuit’s mission of
solving the most important problems facing small business owners
and accounting professionals around the world,” said Alex Barnett,
director of Intuit’s Developer Group. “The new tools and programs
we revealed at QuickBooks Connect this week are part of our
continued investment in enabling our developer partners to create
thriving and sustainable businesses on our platform.”
Passionate About Developer Success
Intuit Developer Group is committed to making it even easier for
developers to build applications that integrate with the QuickBooks
platform to help small business succeed. Among the new programs and
tools:
A New Developer Portal
The newly redesigned Intuit Developer Portal makes it easier
than ever to get started building QuickBooks app integrations. New
features for the re-imagined developer portal include:
- An Improved Home Page: Caters to
you whether you are new to QuickBooks, an advanced developer, or a
marketing professional.
- Easier to Navigate: The content
you really need is now even easier to find. Quickly overview
documentation to find the most relevant document in the left
navigation index. Once you click on a document, glance through its
sections using the right navigation. Clicking on the relevant
section will browse you to the exact content you need.
- Start Quickly: Get started in 15
minutes with build-your-first-app tutorials in your preferred
language - Java, .NET or PHP. If you are new to QuickBooks Online,
the “accounting concepts” feature is a great way to easily learn
accounting concepts without the need for enrolling in accounting
meetups or classes.
- Sample Gallery: Redesigned
developer documentation is about making your developer experience
simple and easier for everything - documents and samples. You can
easily browse through samples to find the scenario that you need to
implement. Sample Gallery is available in 6 languages: Java, .NET,
PHP, Python, Node and Ruby.
Reimagined App Store
The QuickBooks App Store is a thriving marketplace with over 600
listed apps for small business and accountants. The new
experience:
- Is built mobile first to scale
seamlessly and beautifully across mobile devices.
- Includes a substantial design refresh
bringing to life a visual design style that is fresh and
modern.
- Is focused on easy navigation with an
emphasis on app discovery - a bigger, better search; scalable,
responsive app categories; curated app collections; a new app
details page, and snappy site performance overall.
New Use Cases and More Support the Ecosystem
- New Payroll API Limited Beta Saves
Even More Time: The newest APIs for QuickBooks Payroll in
limited beta enable third-party time tracking and benefits
providers to connect directly to QuickBooks Online to provision
deductions, benefits and pensions, and sync employee contributions
and time by payroll items to help ensure that company books and
benefits statements are aligned. Intuit estimates potential time
savings for automated data entry using the APIs could be as high as
3.5 hours per month.
- Target Smarter with the Marketing
Concierge: The new marketing concierge service offers
consultations to help developers better understand their marketing
funnel and optimize Apps card content and marketing outreach to
ensure solutions are seen by ideal target customers.
- New Featured Apps in the Accountant
Apps Program: The Accountant Apps Program hand picks top-rated
apps that allow accounting professionals to easily add, manage and
bill apps for their clients directly in QuickBooks Online. New apps
include:
- SaasAnt reduces manual entry, allowing
users to import, export, and delete file transactions easily and
quickly.
- Qvinci automates financial reporting,
giving users near “real-time” access to financial data and business
analytics.
- Pay with Bolt enables online payments
for invoices by connecting QuickBooks with popular payments
providers.
- AutoEntry automates data entry for
bills, receipts, sales invoices, bank and card statements and
more.
- Plooto Today creates an integrated
platform to send and receive business payments.
- Learn with the CPA App Academy:
Small businesses depend on their accountants and bookkeepers to
recommend apps that integrate with QuickBooks to extend its
functionality and meet specific needs. Intuit is helping accounting
professionals embrace this trusted advisory role by collaborating
with CPA App Academy to offer a 4-part webinar series, “Best of
QuickBooks Online Apps,” designed to help them learn the ins and
outs of using apps to solve client needs. Read more about the
series at the CPA App Academy website.
Small Business Hackathon and App Showdown
In addition to the innovations unveiled at QuickBooks Connect,
the Intuit Developer Group celebrated the developer community with
two popular events, the Small Business Hackathon and the annual
QuickBooks App Showdown, which awarded more than $100,000 in
prizes.
- At QuickBooks Connect, Intuit announced
G1VE as the winner of the Small Business App Showdown, a contest
that recognizes the best new apps integrating with QuickBooks. The
winner of the App Showdown receives a cash prize of $100,000 to
help grow their app business.
