## Integrating QuickBooks Payments

The QuickBooks Payments integration is a two-step process.

### Step 1. Getting Your QuickBooks API Credentials

The first step of the integration process is creating an app in QuickBooks. This app lets you collect the necessary API details that Nexudus will use to communicate with your QuickBooks Payments accounts.

1. Go to [developer.intuit.com/app/developer/myapps](https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/myapps).
2. Log in using the email and password you use to access your QuickBooks Payments account.
3. Click **Create an app**.
4. Select **QuickBooks Online and Payments**.
5. Name your app.
6. Tick the **com.intuit.quickbooks.payment ( US only )** checkbox.
7. Click **Create app**.

Now that the app is created you need to set it up in just a few steps.

1. Click on [Production Settings](https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/appdetail/prod).
2. Add your Members Portal URL in all the URL fields of the **Terms of service links** and **App URLs** sections.
3. Select at least one option in the **Categorize your app** section.
4. Add United States to the **Where is your app hosted?** section.
5. Tick **None of the above** in the *Tell us about regulated industries that use your app* section.
6. Click **Save** at the bottom of the page.

Once you've defined the basic details of your app, you need to submit a questionnaire.

1. Click on [**Keys & credentials**](https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/appdetail/prod/keys) in the *Production Settings* menu.
2. Click on **Go to the app assessment questionnaire**.
3. Click on **Start questionnaire**.
4. Fill out the **General question** form based on your business situation and click **Next tab**.
5. Tick the **You were asked to create this app in order to get credentials/keys to be used on another platform that integrates with QuickBooks** option.

1. Add **help.nexudus.com/docs/quickbooks-payments** to the link field.
2. Select **Yes** to the question *Have you added some form of Re-CAPTCHA to your site or app to prevent fraudulent transactions?*.
3. Click **Submit**.

Now that you have your app, you can generate the relevant API details.

1. Go to [developer.intuit.com/app/developer/playground](https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/playground)
2. Select the **Production** version of your app.
3. Copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret** and save them somewhere safe.
4. Tick the **com.intuit.quickbooks.payment** option in the *Scopes* section.
5. Click **Get authorization code**.
6. Click **Connect**.
7. Click **Get tokens**.
8. Scroll down to the *Refresh access token* section.
9. Copy your **Refresh token** and **Access token** and save them somewhere.

You should now have the following API details:

- You **Client ID** and **Client secret**
- Your **Access token** and **Refresh token**

### Step 2. Enabling the Integration

The second and last step of the integration is simply enabling the integration on the Admin Panel.

1. Log in to [dashboard.nexudus.com](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/) if you aren't already.
2. Click [**Settings > Payments and currency > Payment methods**](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/settings/1/1/2).
3. Click on **QuickBooks**.
4. Select your **Location**.
5. Add a **Payment gateway name**.

          This name is the payment option's name as it will be displayed on the Members Portal.

          

1. Fill out the **Transaction fee** section if you want to apply a transaction fee to the customer.

          Remember to check you local laws and regulations regarding card payment surcharges/transaction fees.

          

Countries such as the United Kingdom and most of Europe don't allow businesses to charge customers an extra fee for using their credit/debit cards.

1. Add the **Access Token** you saved from Step 1.
2. Add the **Client** details you saved from Step 1.
3. Add the **Client Secret** you saved from Step 1.
4. Add the **Refresh Token** you saved from Step 1.
