QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for Retail Business Management

Manage your retail business from one flexible platform. Simplify e-commerce management and take control of pricing, cash, inventory, and orders—right inside QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise offers customizable features to simplify pricing, improve order and inventory management, and help you sell online. If your needs are greater, QuickBooks Enterprise is specifically designed to grow with product-based businesses with inventory needs, no matter the size.

Multi-Channel E-commerce Integration

Be everywhere your customers are with Shopify, Amazon, and WooCommerce e-commerce integrations. With each sale, return, or item added to your stock, your inventory levels are automatically updated in Desktop Enterprise. No more time-wasting workarounds—Advanced Inventory lets you manage your inventory within QuickBooks to ensure every sale is accounted for. You'll know when to reorder and be able to easily keep track of your best sellers.

Advanced Pricing and Employee Management

With Advanced Pricing, customizable, automated price rules help you protect your margins, save time, reduce errors, and serve customers better. And you always maintain flexibility to implement exceptions as you need to. To manage your team, use QuickBooks Desktop Payroll. You can quickly pay your retail employees right from QuickBooks using both printed checks and direct deposit. Utilize project costing, class and item tracking data for accurate paychecks.

Cloud Hosting and Accessibility

Manage your business from the retail floor or the back office with cloud hosting. With cloud hosting, your software and data are stored and protected on remote servers, not on your office computers. That means you have the extra flexibility of accessing QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise anytime, anywhere, and on any device, including Mac. Anyone in your organization, plus any authorized partners like your accountant, can work with the same data—no matter where they are.

Technical Integration with QuickBooks Web Connector

Small businesses often struggle with integrating e-commerce and accounting, especially when using QuickBooks Desktop, which lacks a REST API for easy connection. A REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols used for building and interacting with web services. The absence of a REST API creates hurdles in seamlessly syncing data between e-commerce platforms and the accounting software.

The QuickBooks Web Connector (QBWC) is a tool that allows your QuickBooks software to ‘talk’ or exchange data with other web-based applications. It works because QBWC uses web service technologies, specifically SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), to establish a connection. SOAP is a way for different computers to communicate with each other over the internet. This is useful because it automates data entry tasks, which means you spend less time manually inputting data into QuickBooks and reduces errors.
