Quickbooks

PHP Library for connecting to QuickBooks.

Note: This was done with an AU account. There are differences between regions of Quickbooks Account. If you are using a different region's account and encounter any issue, please make a report of it.

Installation

Install it using composer.

Configuring

To start using this library, you must create an app in the Developer's Dashboard and obtain the client ID and secret.

Add this to the beginning of your app.

• SANDBOX - Use true if this is a development environment. Leave it empty or false for production.
• OAUTH - Represents the entire array returned after requesting for access token. This will be null when you first start out but must be filled after successfully obtaining an access token.
• realm_id - This is your company's ID and is required when making API calls. You will obtain this ID on the 2nd step (after user authorizes on Quickbook) of Connecting to Quickbooks.

Connecting to Quickbooks

Quickbooks uses OAuth2 in order to establish an authenticated connection to it. This documentation will not delve too much detail into it and instead will just lay out what you need. Go through the documentation to find out more.

1. Authorization

Redirect user to Quickbooks' login page. Get the URL via;

2. Prepare a redirection page

Reconnect

OAuth have a very limited usage period (usually about 1 hour). In order to refresh the token;

Disconnect

Simply remove all of the Configuration values from your storage.

Usage

Read

To read a resource, initialize its service and call load($id) on it. Take note not all Service have read capability. Check QB's documentation to know which one does and which one does not; https://developer.intuit.com/v2/apiexplorer?apiname=V3QBO .

Response will be in stdClass object.

Delete

Deleting a resource is basically the same as loading except calling on delete($id) instead.

Create

In order to create, you will need to obtain a Builder for the entity you wish for. You can get the Builder instance from its Service. Example given is for Invoice;

Any property can be added by calling set{$propertyName}. For example setting the amount;

Nested value have two ways to be added. Either straight up arrays via its top-level property or using various helper methods within the Builder.

Straight up array;

Helper methods;

Once you've built up your data, just call create().

Upon doing so you Invoice will be created and your Invoice data object will be retured.

Putting it all together;

Note 1: Above example is a non-working solution. Please check Quickbooks' documentation on what are the required fields for each Entity.

Note 2: Builder methods can be chained, except for create() which will return the created object.

Update

Updating is exactly the same as Create however you will need to set a SyncToken first setSyncToken() and call update() instead.

An updated object will be returned by update().

Attachment

$files is an array of associative array. Add more of the associative array to upload more files at the same time.

Note: Not all Entities can have attachments. Currently supported Entity with Attachments is Invoice, Vendor, VendorCredit, Purchase, PurchaseOrder, Transfer, JournalEntry, Deposit, CreditMemo, Estimate, RefundReceipt, SalesReceipt, Bill, Customer and Payment.

Entity-specific Usage

Certain entities have usages beyond the normal CRUD operation.

Attachable

Uploading File

You are allowed to specify multiple Entities per Attachable.

Response upon upload is an array of Attachable objects.

Note: While Attachable can be used directly, its generally not recommended if you wish to upload a single file to a specific entity. Use each respective Services to upload files. Only use this if you wish to upload and link to several entities at once.
