Intuit Payment Settings
Take payments through Intuit and sync with your QuickBooks Online file. There are two paths: a 1-click authorization through the WP EasyCart App — the fast lane — or a direct oAuth connection you build yourself in the Intuit developer console. Both are covered below, start to finish.
Intuit Setup V3 (WP EasyCart 4.0.20+)
The recommended route. WP EasyCart offers a 1-click authorization with Intuit — two steps and you’re connected.
Select ‘WP EasyCart App’ & Connect
Select the connection type ‘WP EasyCart App’. Once you select this, also choose sandbox or production and click save, then refresh the page. Once you do, click to connect.

Authorize Your QuickBooks Online File
Now authorize your QuickBooks Online file when Intuit prompts you.

💡 That is it! Just try checking out and make sure your connection is working.
Intuit Setup V1 & V2 — Direct Connection
Prefer a direct connection to Intuit instead of relying on WP EasyCart servers to authorize your app? You’re welcome to use it — it’s definitely a more complicated setup, so we’ve provided a full series of screenshots and information to make it as easy as possible. If you run into any difficulties, contact our support staff through the support ticket system.
Important: PHP oAuth Module Required
Your server must support PHP’s oAuth module, which can be enabled by your host if you do not have it. Missing it becomes apparent in the final step of setup when you try to authorize your site on Intuit — you’ll see a blank white screen or an error message describing the issue.
Create Your Intuit Developer App
Steps 1–7 apply to both V1 and V2. You start on the developer site to create the keys that connect your WP EasyCart store to your payments account — once testing is complete, you apply for live keys.
Log In & Create a New App
Navigate to developer.intuit.com and log in with your Intuit Payments account. Once logged in, click “Create new app”.

Open the Settings Tab & Start Editing
Now that your new app is created, go to the settings tab to begin editing the required information. Click the pencil icon to edit the app info. The first time through you’ll be working with the development application and development keys — once things are confirmed working, switch to production mode and repeat steps 4–10.
Intuit Developer — App Settings Tab
Name Your App
Enter a name that identifies this application as WP EasyCart — and if you use Intuit Payments on multiple sites, name it for the specific site it will be connected to. This is for your reference only, but very useful when running Intuit Payments in multiple instances.

Edit the App URLs
Next, click the pencil icon next to the App URLs section.
Intuit Developer — App URLs Section
Enter Your Site URLs — Very Important
Enter the home URL of the WordPress site you plan to sell from. For example, if you are selling on www.mysite.com/store, enter www.mysite.com. In addition, for the Launch URL and Disconnect URL, be sure to include https:// in front of the URL.

Version 1 — Intuit Payments with oAuth 1.0
This is where your setup splits based on when you created your Intuit account. If you do not see the ‘App Token’ line item in your keys panel, skip to Version 2: Intuit Payments with oAuth 2.0 below.
Copy Your Keys
With your app set up, it’s time to copy the keys into the EasyCart system and connect the cart to your Intuit Payments account. Go to the Keys section and copy down this information for the next step.

Enter the Keys in EasyCart & Save
Enter the information from step 8 into the boxes provided. Turn sandbox mode on if you are using the development keys — or if you have already completed testing, select sandbox mode off. Press Save to update your settings. Once updated, the “Connect to Quickbooks” button appears in the live gateway settings box — click it now.

Click Authorize
The last setup step is to click Authorize when prompted. This step will fail if your server does not support PHP’s oAuth — a requirement from Intuit Payments for connection.

oAuth setups have a lot of moving parts — keys, URLs, server modules. If your connection won’t authorize, our support team will help you track down the missing piece.
