Hi,

Does this allow for user/sales data going from QB to Drupal? I want my in-store/phone purchases to be visible in drupal and also to create a new drupal user if the instore customer isnt a online customer. If not, do you think this would be possible?

Thanks,
Paul.

Theoretically, yes. Your workstation that's running Quickbooks periodically polls your Drupal site to see if there's any new data to exchange. In a case like this, the Drupal site would respond by requesting updated order and customer information. The Drupal site would receive this information from Quickbooks, and then store it in a variety of ways.

This module is designed to facilitate those types of communications and provide a flexible API for the actual storage/handling part. This ensures that it's all flexible and not to rigidly-locked-in for one specific use case.

All that said, things are a bit raw, and this is definitely not a matter of switching the module on and having everything magically work. It would likely require some consulting time/extra work to get something like this going, but it would definitely be cool!
