Best way to export transactions from Rails App into QuickBooks

I have a rails app that takes care of all the bank transactions for us. Our accountant wants all those to be automatically imported into Quickbooks Pro (either online or desktop version). I've read about Web Connector and Transaction Pro Importer, but I feel like I don't have enough info to make a decision. I'd appreciate any advice!

Thanks!

For QuickBooks for Windows:

If you're a developer, and you're comfortable with developing with some SOAP components, the Web Connector will be a good direction to go for you.

There's some pretty decent Web Connector Ruby gems out there already:

If you're not a developer and/or don't want to develop something yourself, Transaction Pro makes things relatively easy to import/export.

For QuickBooks Online:

For SaaS applications, the QuickBooks Online APIs are very good. For non-SaaS applications, you have to use the qbXML gateway for QuickBooks Online, which is somewhat limiting sometimes. In your particular scenario (you're not a SaaS app allowing your customers to connect their QB files to your app) you'd be better off with QuickBooks for Windows.
