README

A Laravel-first Composer SDK for QuickBooks Online (QBO). Supports single-company apps, multi-company setups, and full SaaS multi-tenant platforms from the same codebase — with driver-based token storage, flexible company resolution, and automatic OAuth2 token refresh.

Requirements

Installation

composer require shukyusof/qb-sdk

Laravel auto-discovers the service provider. To publish the config and migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=quickbooks-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=quickbooks-migrations
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=quickbooks-stubs
php artisan migrate

Configuration

Add these to your .env:

QUICKBOOKS_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
QUICKBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
QUICKBOOKS_REDIRECT_URI=https://yourapp.com/quickbooks/callback
QUICKBOOKS_ENVIRONMENT=production          # or sandbox
QUICKBOOKS_TOKEN_STORE=database            # or cache
QUICKBOOKS_COMPANY_RESOLVER=model          # env | model | static | chain

# Single-company shorthand
QUICKBOOKS_DEFAULT_COMPANY=your-qb-company-uuid

# Optional tuning
QUICKBOOKS_TIMEOUT=30
QUICKBOOKS_RETRY_TIMES=3
QUICKBOOKS_RETRY_SLEEP=1000

Quickstart

1. Register a company source (one-time)

use App\Models\QuickBooksCompany;

$company = QuickBooksCompany::registerSource($yourModel, tenantId: null, labelColumn: 'name');
// $company->qb_company_id  →  UUID used everywhere in the SDK

2. Redirect the user to QuickBooks to authorize

use QuickBooks\SDK\Laravel\Facades\QuickBooks;

$url = QuickBooks::getAuthorizationUrl($company->qb_company_id);
return redirect($url);

3. Handle the OAuth callback

public function callback(Request $request)
{
    $client = QuickBooks::handleCallback(
        $request->get('code'),
        $request->get('realmId'),
        $request->get('state')
    );

    // $client is ready to use immediately
}

4. Use the client

$client = QuickBooks::company($qbCompanyId);

// or for single-company apps:
$client = QuickBooks::client();

Available Resources

Estimates

$client->estimates()->all();
$client->estimates()->pending();            // TxnStatus = 'Pending'
$client->estimates()->accepted();           // TxnStatus = 'Accepted'
$client->estimates()->forCustomer($customerId);
$client->estimates()->create([...]);

Credit Memos

$client->creditMemos()->all();
$client->creditMemos()->unapplied();        // Balance > 0
$client->creditMemos()->forCustomer($customerId);
$client->creditMemos()->create([...]);

$client->employees()->active();
$client->employees()->findByName('Jane Smith');
$client->employees()->create([...]);

Calling Resources Not Covered by a Typed Class

The SDK ships typed classes for the most commonly used QBO entities. For everything else — JournalEntry, TaxRate, TaxCode, CompanyInfo, Department, Class, Item, RefundReceipt, SalesReceipt, Transfer, Deposit, and any other QBO entity — use the raw client methods directly.

get($uri, $query = [])

// Fetch a single record
$client->get('taxrate/1');
$client->get('item/42');
$client->get('department/5');

// Fetch with query parameters
$client->get('companyinfo/' . $realmId);

post($uri, $payload = [])

// Create any entity
$client->post('journalentry', [
    'Line' => [...],
    'CurrencyRef' => ['value' => 'USD'],
]);

// Create a sales receipt
$client->post('salesreceipt', [
    'CustomerRef' => ['value' => '1'],
    'Line' => [...],
]);

query($sql)

QBO supports a SQL-like query language across all entities. Use this for any entity that supports querying:

// Journal entries
$client->query("SELECT * FROM JournalEntry WHERE DocNumber = 'JE-001'");

// Tax rates
$client->query("SELECT * FROM TaxRate WHERE Active = true");

// Items / products
$client->query("SELECT * FROM Item WHERE Type = 'Inventory'");
$client->query("SELECT * FROM Item WHERE Name LIKE '%Widget%'");

// Company info
$client->query("SELECT * FROM CompanyInfo");

// Departments
$client->query("SELECT * FROM Department WHERE Active = true");

// Classes
$client->query("SELECT * FROM Class WHERE Active = true");

// Deposits
$client->query("SELECT * FROM Deposit WHERE TotalAmt > '1000'");

// Sales receipts
$client->query("SELECT * FROM SalesReceipt WHERE Balance > '0'");

// Refund receipts
$client->query("SELECT * FROM RefundReceipt");

// Transfers
$client->query("SELECT * FROM Transfer");

// Time activities
$client->query("SELECT * FROM TimeActivity WHERE BillableStatus = 'Billable'");

Note: String values in QBO query language must be wrapped in single quotes. Numeric comparisons do not require quotes.

Exception Handling

use QuickBooks\SDK\Exceptions\AuthenticationException;
use QuickBooks\SDK\Exceptions\RateLimitException;
use QuickBooks\SDK\Exceptions\ApiException;
use QuickBooks\SDK\Exceptions\CompanyNotFoundException;
use QuickBooks\SDK\Exceptions\QuickBooksException;

try {
    $invoices = QuickBooks::company($id)->invoices()->all();
} catch (RateLimitException $e) {
    // HTTP 429 — back off and retry later
} catch (AuthenticationException $e) {
    // OAuth expired or invalid — re-authorize the company
} catch (CompanyNotFoundException $e) {
    // Unknown qb_company_id
} catch (ApiException $e) {
    // Other HTTP error (404, 500, etc.)
    // $e->getCode() returns the HTTP status code
} catch (QuickBooksException $e) {
    // Catch-all for any SDK exception
}

Multi-Company

// Check connection state
QuickBooks::isConnected($qbCompanyId);   // bool
QuickBooks::connectionStatus();           // ['uuid' => bool, ...]

// Iterate all connected companies
foreach (QuickBooks::allCompanies() as $qbCompanyId => $client) {
    $client->invoices()->overdue();
}

// Disconnect
QuickBooks::disconnectCompany($qbCompanyId);

Multi-Tenancy

Set the tenant context before resolving a client — typically in middleware:

use QuickBooks\SDK\Tenant\TenantContext;

app(TenantContext::class)->setTenantId($request->user()->tenant_id);

Then use the SDK normally. All token reads and writes are automatically scoped to the active tenant.
