Not everyone is spending money on Oracle or wants to send their weekends coding things that should be simple. Intuit has been largely the de-facto standard and won on a mostly closed platform. I feel they may end up loosing in the long run to SaaS providers or options with a more open data philosophy. Let me know what you come up with! All the Best, Matt Daryl,

I run a web development company and would like to integrate our CRM (FatFree) with our accounting (Quickbooks Online Edition). I would also like to allow our customers to login to our website to view their current and past statements and make payments online (authorize.net). It does not look like there are any quick fixes at the moment, so I am likely going to have to set aside a few weekends to code a custom solution for my needs. I'm currently looking into the Quickbooks API and have found a PHP 5 Quickbooks integration framework that looks promising: https://idnforums.intuit.com/messageview.aspx?catid=56&threadid=9164 Best of luck to you!
