Adding a customer with address details to QuickBooks

I'm working on a Saas and have been using Keith Palmer's PHP Dev Kit.

For the most part, it has worked really well - I can download customers, add customers and add invoices which is what I wanted to achieve.

However, when Adding the customer, I don't seem to be able to add the address and phone details. I've tried various strategies and none have worked. As I need to sync the data to some degree, I really need it to add these fields.

My Customer object is created with $Customer = new QuickBooks_IPP_Object_Customer();

I tried creating a $Address = new QuickBooks_IPP_Object_Address() and then adding with $Customer->addAddress($Address) after populating the address object, but still nothing.

The basic details are saved fine, but what am I doing wrong with the address?

I looked through the examples (which is how I got the basic details to save) but didn't see how to add this.

Does anyone know how to save the address details?

Assuming you're using the newest, v3 APIs, and the latest code from GitHub, your code should look something like this:

        $CustomerService = new QuickBooks_IPP_Service_Customer();

        $Customer = new QuickBooks_IPP_Object_Customer();
        $Customer->setTitle('Mr');
        $Customer->setGivenName('Keith');
        $Customer->setMiddleName('R');
        $Customer->setFamilyName('Palmer');
        $Customer->setDisplayName('Keith R Palmer Jr ' . mt_rand(0, 1000));

        // Phone #
        $PrimaryPhone = new QuickBooks_IPP_Object_PrimaryPhone();
        $PrimaryPhone->setFreeFormNumber('860-532-0089');
        $Customer->setPrimaryPhone($PrimaryPhone);

        // Bill address
        $BillAddr = new QuickBooks_IPP_Object_BillAddr();
        $BillAddr->setLine1('72 E Blue Grass Road');
        $BillAddr->setLine2('Suite D');
        $BillAddr->setCity('Mt Pleasant');
        $BillAddr->setCountrySubDivisionCode('MI');
        $BillAddr->setPostalCode('48858');
        $Customer->setBillAddr($BillAddr);

        if ($resp = $CustomerService->add($Context, $realm, $Customer))
        {
                print('Our new customer ID is: [' . $resp . ']');
        }
        else
        {
                print($CustomerService->lastError($Context));
        }

You can get the latest code here:

It includes an example here:

The methods available for the objects exactly mirror the XML node names that Intuit defines in their docs.

So, if they have a node named:

  • BillAddr

Then you'll have a corresponding object:

  • QuickBooks_IPP_Object_BillAddr

And if they have nodes names:

  • Line1
  • Line2
  • City
  • CountrySubDivisionCode

Then you'll have corresponding methods:

  • ->setLine1($val) and ->getLine1()
  • ->setLine2($val) and ->getLine2()
  • ->setCity($val) and ->getCity()
  • ->setCountrySubDivisionCode($val) and ->getCountrySubDivisionCode()
