Using MyWorks in a Shopify Development / Sandbox Store with QuickBooks Online

Explore how to use MyWorks in your Shopify Development Store

Updated today

MyWorks can be installed and used in Shopify Development or Sandbox stores, which can be quite helpful if your Shopify store is still in development and you'd like to test MyWorks.

Note: It's quite safe to install MyWorks on your live Shopify store without testing first on a Shopify Development Store, as MyWorks only automatically syncs new data, and this can even be disabled in our settings. We'll never automatically bulk sync any of your existing orders to QuickBooks.

When using MyWorks on a Shopify Development Store, there's a few helpful items to keep in mind that are different from how MyWorks works on a live/paid Shopify store that's not “Development”.

  • You will only be able to connect to a Sandbox QuickBooks Online company, not a live QuickBooks company. You can create a Sandbox company with QuickBooks by visiting developer.intuit.com

  • MyWorks will not charge you for the plan you choose. You're welcome to choose a paid plan, and while Shopify will ask you to authorize the charge, you'll see a message that it's not an actual charge.
