When integrating with accounting and ERP platforms through Apideck, different connectors have varying partnership requirements. Understanding these requirements is essential for planning your integration timeline and ensuring compliance with each platform's developer policies.

This guide categorizes our accounting and ERP connectors into three groups based on their partnership requirements, helping you understand what's needed before going live with each integration.

Partnership Categories

🔴 Partnership Required

These platforms require you to register as a partner and obtain your own API credentials before going live in production. This typically involves completing a partner application, agreeing to terms of service, and potentially undergoing a security review or technical assessment. Examples include QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Sage Intacct.

🔵 Partnership Optional (Apideck Credentials Available)

For these connectors, Apideck has already established partner credentials that you can use. This means you can start integrating immediately without setting up your own partnership. However, when your users authenticate, Apideck will be shown as the application requesting access. You may optionally establish your own partnership if you prefer your own branding during the OAuth flow. Examples include Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Exact Online, MYOB, FreshBooks, Zoho Books, and Sage Business Cloud Accounting.

🟢 No Partnership Required

These connectors allow immediate integration without requiring any formal partnership. Connection is typically established directly through consumer credentials or basic API keys. Examples include Oracle NetSuite, Workday, Acumatica, and Clear Books.
