Intuit QuickBooks has announced the launch of its rest-of-world app store, a move aimed at creating a more powerful platform for accountants and small business owners worldwide. This new app store enables developers to build and integrate custom applications into the QuickBooks platform, catering to niche requirements and providing tailored solutions for small businesses and accountants.
Jeremy Sulzmann, Vice President of Intuit QuickBooks Partners Segment, shared his enthusiasm for the launch:
“Rolling out the rest-of-world app store represents a massive opportunity, not only for developers, but for the accountants and small businesses that will benefit from what they create. We’re always looking for ways to make the lives of accountants easier, and this launch is another example of that. The power and creativity that developers can bring to the app store will relieve specific pain points that accountants are facing with their clients.”
The rest-of-world app store is designed to accommodate developers of all skill levels, offering a variety of resources to help them understand available APIs and test their applications using a Sandbox. Developers also have access to production keys, ensuring seamless integration with the QuickBooks platform.
Intuit encourages developers to explore QuickBooks and identify potential gaps in the platform, then devise creative solutions tailored to specific vertical industries. All submitted apps will undergo technical, marketing, and security reviews before going live.
The new app store allows developers to customize the markets in which their app will be available. Creators can choose to target specific regions or make their app available globally, offering flexibility and fostering innovation. This approach helps solve regional challenges and addresses universally experienced pain points.
By launching the rest-of-world app store, Intuit QuickBooks intends to harness the creativity and expertise of developers to enhance its platform and better serve small businesses and accountants worldwide.
