## Connect setup

QuickBooks Online uses OAuth 2.0. You need an app registered in the **Intuit Developer** portal.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an Intuit app">
    Go to the [Intuit Developer dashboard](https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/dashboard) → **My Apps** → **Create an app**. Choose **QuickBooks Online and Payments**. Under **Keys & OAuth**, copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the redirect URL">
    In your app's **Redirect URIs** list, add:

    ```
    https://api.routemcp.io/api/v1/auth/callback
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure scopes">
    QuickBooks Online uses a single accounting scope:

    * `com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting`
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect via the widget">
    When your end user opens the Connect widget, they will enter the Client ID and Client Secret, then be redirected to QuickBooks to authorize the connection.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
# List invoices (AR + AP merged) from QuickBooks Online
curl "https://api.routemcp.io/api/v1/accounting/invoice?provider=quickbooks-online" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "X-End-User-Id: user-123"

# Create a bill (AP) — set type=ACCOUNTS_PAYABLE to dispatch to QBO's /bill endpoint
curl -X POST "https://api.routemcp.io/api/v1/accounting/invoice?provider=quickbooks-online" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-End-User-Id: user-123" \
  -d '{ "type": "ACCOUNTS_PAYABLE", "contact": "urn:qbo:vendor:99", "total_amount": 850.00, "due_date": "2026-06-01" }'

# Update by URN — RouteMCP decodes the URN and routes to the correct entity
curl -X PATCH "https://api.routemcp.io/api/v1/accounting/invoice/urn:qbo:bill:7?provider=quickbooks-online" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-End-User-Id: user-123" \
  -d '{ "memo": "Approved by ops" }'
```

## Notes

* Pass `type: "ACCOUNTS_PAYABLE"` on `invoice` and `payment` create to write bills and bill payments. For vendor contacts, set `is_supplier: true`.
* `project` requires a QBO Plus or Advanced subscription.
