Intuit QuickBooks Merchant Service + php

Question

I try integrate my web applacation with Intuit QuickBooks Merchant Service. I found this https://idnforums.intuit.com/messageview.aspx?catid=50&threadid=11829

But I don't understand what is it $connection_ticket, where I can get it?

Thanks.

A "connection ticket" is a token you get from Intuit, which allows you charge credit cards through their API. It's sort of like a username/password, or an OAuth token if you're familiar with that.

If you read the documentation included in the example scripts, you'll find the documentation says...:

• IMPORTANT * In order to use this example, you'll need to go through the Intuit application registration process first! This is documented here: http://wiki.consolibyte.com/wiki/doku.php/quickbooks_qbms_integration

If you then follow that URL, you'll find instructions to get your connection ticket.

The easiest way to get a connection ticket is to use DESKTOP mode. HOSTED mode will work too, but it's much more difficult to get a connection ticket in HOSTED mode.
