Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU) is launching a reimagined developer
experience that makes QuickBooks Online the platform of choice for next
generation business management apps. The new developer.intuit.com
offers best-in-class developer tools and provides access to a global
market of cloud-based small businesses.
“We’re focused on delivering an amazing developer experience because we
know that the QuickBooks Online platform is only as powerful as the
third party apps that connect to it,” said Avi Golan, vice president and
general manager of Intuit Developer Group. “The QuickBooks Online
platform is already home to leading cloud solutions for small
businesses, such as Square, PayPal, and Method:CRM. With this new
developer experience, we’re ready to take things to the next level as
the global platform of choice for business management solutions.”
A Developer Experience that Fuels Speed and Agility
The new Intuit Developer, previously the Intuit Partner Platform, is a
new experience that allows developers to create game-changing
applications for small businesses efficiently and quickly. Key
enhancements include:
-
Hello World in 15 Minutes: the new experience makes it possible
for developers to test an idea for a new app by working with sample
code and testing it out within QuickBooks Online – all within 15
minutes.
-
Seamless Cloud Integration: thanks to Intuit’s recent
acquisition of itDuzzit, a cloud-centric integration platform, it’s
easier than ever to create sophisticated integrations between web and
mobile apps.
-
New Tools: new SDKs and simple documentation make it easier
than ever to call QuickBooks Online APIs. Sample apps provide examples
of eCommerce, time-based billing and customer relationship management
(CRM) integrations, and a new Sandbox makes it possible to test apps
live in QuickBooks Online.
A New Payments API
Intuit is introducing a new payments Application Programming Interface
(API) that enables deep integrations with QuickBooks Online. Using the
new API, developers can leverage Intuit’s processing infrastructure to
create apps that help small businesses get paid faster.
Accessing a Global Small Business Market via a New Apps.com
Once an app is built, developers will be able to publish live on the new
Apps.com in as little as two weeks. The new Apps.com allows developers
to reach a global market of small businesses on the QuickBooks Online
platform. Once their apps are in market, developers will benefit from
support resources and self-service forums. To date, 400+ apps have been
integrated on the QuickBooks Online platform.
New QuickBooks Offerings for Accountants and Small Businesses
The developer enhancements are part of the hundred new product
enhancements unveiled at QuickBooks Connect, a first-of-its-kind
conference that brought together small business, entrepreneurs,
accountants and developers. Intuit is also:
