Merchants who also sell products on 3dcart can now import orders from 3dcart to their QuickBooks Commerce system for processing. Integrating your 3dcart store into QuickBooks Commerce can be done with the following steps:
Creating the QuickBooks Commerce API App
The first step in the process will be to create the REST API App on QuickBooks Commerce which will connect to your 3dcart store. The following assumes that you've already created your QuickBooks Commerce account and you have set up your profile. The following abridged version of the steps involved for creating the REST API app on QuickBooks Commerce for the use of 3dcart.
1. Log into your QuickBooks Commerce account
2. To register this application please click on the URL shown https://commerce.intuit.com/oauth/applications
3. Next, click on the "New Application" button and fill out the form that gets displayed
The form will contain the following fields:
- Name
A simple name for the app that will help you identify it on QuickBooks Commerce's API pages. - Description
