How to set up a test environment
Last updated April 29, 2024
Testing our app in a beta environment requires three steps. Test Stripe transactions cannot be run in our live app unless you are using a live credit card.
1) Create a developer account with Intuit at https://developer.intuit.com . This will give you access to QuickBooks sandbox accounts. Please make sure you have a sandbox account accessible in your developer account before proceeding.
2) If you don't have a live Stripe account, you will need to create one at stripe.com. If you have a Stripe account already, we will use Test Mode inside your Stripe account, which you can toggle on your Stripe dashboard.
3) Visit https://beta-quickbooks.acodei.com . Once there, we recommend signing up for our app with an Acodei account:
You can also sign in using your Intuit Developer account.
Once inside, connect your Sandbox QuickBooks account and your test Stripe account. From there, you can set up account mapping through the Account mapping screen or the onboarding process. You can also use a test credit card to upgrade your account.
4) Once you have completed the onboarding process and your accounts are connected, you can run test transactions in Stripe to see how they appear in QuickBooks Online, following the flow of data from Stripe to Acodei to QuickBooks.
