How can we integrate it with Quickbooks?
Three options to import VirtueMart data into Quickbooks with VMConnector, automatically, half-automated, manual import:
- Automatically:
VM Connector Web services can be called directly using the Quickbooks SDK (software development kit)
Complete article: QuickBooks SDK Package
- Sample applications: The SDK includes a rich set of sample application programs, including both source code and executables in Visual Basic, C, C++, and Java.
- QuickBooks Web Connector: A Windows application that enables a web service running on a web server to exchange data with QuickBooks (or QuickBooks Point of Sale) running on Windows.
- Half automated:
Same as 1. except that you trigger manually the VirtueMart queries through VMConnector webservices with your input parameters (i.e. -> to get only the order between two dates, or all, ...).
- Manual import:
As QuickBooks provides import / export functions, you can use VMConnector to query VirtueMart from our VMCClient (VB.NET sample open source), which generates a flat QuickBooks IIF file ready to import into Quickbooks.
(Please note that QB IIF file may vary depending on Quickbooks versions and configuration, but this can be adapted within the VMCClient open source code).
