QuickBooks connector OAuth 1.0a prerequisites for Jitterbit Design Studio

Prerequisites

Active QuickBooks Online subscription

An active QuickBooks Online subscription is required. Note that the QuickBooks Desktop version is not supported.

• I am New to QuickBooks Online: If you do not have a QuickBooks Online production account, you can sign up for a free trial at https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing/. All QuickBooks accounts created after July 17, 2017 will be required to use OAuth 2.0 authentication to connect the Harmony QuickBooks Connector with your QuickBooks Online account. Go to QuickBooks OAuth 2.0 Sandbox Account and follow the remaining steps in this document to start working with the QuickBooks Connector

• I Use an Existing QuickBooks Online Account: If you have an existing QuickBooks Online production account that is currently being used to record your day-to-day financial activities, you may be using OAuth 1.0a authentication. Determine which of the following applies to your QuickBooks account:

  • If your QuickBooks account was active prior to July 17, 2017, but you never created an app associated to this account, your account is required to use OAuth 2.0 authentication. Verify with your QuickBooks developer or administrator that an app has not been developed for your account. In this case, go to QuickBooks OAuth 2.0 sandbox account and continue setting up the QuickBooks Connector with OAuth 2.0 authentication.

  • If your QuickBooks account was** active prior to July 17, 2017, and **apps were developed prior to July 17, 2017, your account was previously required to use OAuth 1.0a authentication.

    • Verify with your QuickBooks developer or administrator that an app(s) does exist for your account and was developed prior to July 17, 2017.

    • All existing QuickBooks users are required to migrate to OAuth 2.0 authentication by December 17, 2019. See the Intuit Developer Blog Post April 10, 2019 and the Intuit OAuth Blog for additional information.

    • If your QuickBooks account has already migrated to OAuth 2.0 authentication, go to QuickBooks OAuth 2.0 sandbox account and continue setting up the QuickBooks Connector with OAuth 2.0 authentication.

QuickBooks OAuth 1.0a sandbox account

It is recommended to use a QuickBooks sandbox account for testing and development purposes. The documentation on the following pages is written to walk you through setting up a test integration prior to implementation in a production environment.

Your QuickBooks Online account should already have at least one sandbox environment by default. This is accessible via https://developer.intuit.com/ under Docs & Tools> Sandbox > Go to company.

If you would like to create additional sandboxes for testing purposes, refer to QuickBooks product documentation.

Jitterbit agent(s) and Design Studio version 8.10 or later

The Harmony QuickBooks Connector OAuth 1.0a is supported on both Cloud and private agents. The Jitterbit agent(s) and Jitterbit Design Studio must be version 8.10 or higher to connect with QuickBooks using OAuth 1.0a authentication. Please ensure you are running version 8.10 or later before continuing with this documentation. For more instruction, refer to Finding my Jitterbit version

You can also get the latest version of Jitterbit Studio and upgrade Jitterbit private agents via the Management Console.
