Commerce operations
What your QuickBooks Desktop operation can connect
QuickBooks Desktop connects through the QuickBooks Web Connector rather than Intuit's cloud API. APIWORX scopes that connection for teams that keep their books in a QuickBooks Desktop company file, then connects the stores, marketplaces, trading partners and fulfillment systems around it. We scope your edition instead of treating QuickBooks Online connectors as ready-made QuickBooks Desktop connectors.
02
Marketplace deposits that reconcile
Break marketplace sales, fees, refunds and adjustments into entries that tie back to the deposit.
03
Inventory across stores and fulfillment
Choose the inventory system of record and map QuickBooks Desktop items to your channels and 3PL.
04
Retailer EDI to finance
Scope purchase orders, shipment notices and invoices against each trading partner's requirements.
Built around your business
The details behind dependable transactions
Web Connector scheduling
Syncs run on the schedule the Web Connector supports for your company file. We set timing during scope, without promising real-time updates.
Sales tax and item mapping
Channel SKUs, bundles and tax codes rarely match QuickBooks items. We maintain the mapping so orders post to the right items and tax lines.
Monitoring and error handling
APIWORX monitors the agreed flows, investigates failures and manages recovery. You don't work an error queue.
Managed changes
When channels, trading partners or your QuickBooks setup change, APIWORX maintains the agreed mappings as part of the managed service.

Scope
Where off-the-shelf connectors stop
Online, Desktop and Enterprise are different
QuickBooks Online uses Intuit's cloud API; Desktop and Enterprise connect through the QuickBooks Web Connector. We scope the edition you run instead of forcing one connector onto all three.
Managed service
How it's managed
- We build it around your process, not a template.
- We monitor every flow, and we usually see a failure before you do.
- We fix errors. You don't work an error queue.
- We absorb change: retailer EDI spec updates, marketplace and ecommerce API changes, ERP upgrades.
- One setup fee plus one annual managed fee. No surprise hours bills.
