Installing the QuickBooks Web Connector
Written By Brandon Bruce
QuickBooks Web Connector (QBWC)
The QuickBooks Web Connector is a Microsoft Windows app allowing web services—web-based applications such as Uncat—to trade data with QuickBooks Desktop products. The Web Connector gathers the information collected from the Web Browser by the Web Server and exchanges it with QuickBooks Desktop. The Web Connector is installed on the same machine or local network as QuickBooks Desktop.
Adding a Web service (web-based app) for QBWC to communicate with is simple! See the FAQ guide for more instructions.
If you don’t already have the QuickBooks Web Connector downloaded, you can easily find the best version of QBWC for you through QuickBooks or Intuit Developer.
