Developers! Here’s a chance to interact more directly with your customers!

Intuit’s Customer Community

Every day at Intuit’s Customer Community site, 1000’s of QuickBooks customers and experts ask/answer questions and exchange ideas. It is a great place for customers to interact with each other, accountants, ProAdvisors, and also with you – 3^rd-party app developers.

That’s right! Joining this community as a 3^rd-party developer will give you the chance to answer customer questions about your app directly. It will also help you understand how customers’ use and think about apps in general. These insights can help you improve your own  app and customer experience overall.

Once you’ve created your profile, the Community admin will mark it as an External Developer. That’s it!
