Question

Where can I purchase Quickbooks for Mac Desktop?

Morning all!  I have a client who cannot and will not switch to QB online, so I am looking to purchase Quickbooks for Mac DESKTOP 2023 (Ideally 1 time license, no monthly cost).  I have searched and searched and it seems I am either missing it or it is unavailable anywhere.  Can anyone point me to where I can purchase it?  Or a reasonably older version, maybe 21 or 22 even?

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance or insight!

If you're lucky, you can find used licenses for QBD 2021 on the marketplace. There is no one-time license for the QBD 2022 or 2023. They changed the product name to QBD Mac Plus to indicate that it is an annual subscription license.

    Is it possible to download Desktop for Mac 2021, then hit the "purchase additional licenses" button via the software?  It's greyed out, but I do not have a "business" to open in QB as I am not currently with the client.

    You may only allow to purchase additional seats if your license is activated (able to log into CAMPS as Primary Contact) and is still supported (i.e. version 2021 or later).

    Intuit won't sell  2021 to you. Just don't buy from Mercari. I just bought QB Desktop for Mac 2020 and it its unusable. They sent me a piece of paper with a google drive link in it that is so many characters it's impossible to type. It took me more than 72 hours to request help and I'm told by Mercari my time to provide feedback to them has expired. I think it's been less than a week. Perhaps Mercari believes everyone works on its schedule. I don't recall seeing anything about the feedback window expiring. Plus,Mercari sent me a link to communicate with the seller. The link didn't work. Haven't been able to find an installer on Intuit's website, as the seller advised. Last I spoke with Intuit, they advised 2021 was available somewhere but to be aware of scammers. Guess I just got scammed.

    Which MacOS do you run? I can only find the original license of QBD 2019 for Mac (non subscription).

    To save costs, you may consider using the trial version of QBD Windows for good to run on Parallels.

    I'm running Safari on Ventura. I know some people like Parallels. I gave it up years ago. Too complicated. If I buy again, it will be QBD2023. I've been using Accountedge (owned by Acclivity GroupLLC), but there is no longer any support in the US. It's all in Australia now. My last AccountEdge Pro for Mac update was 2018 when they stopped offering software and support for Apple's latest OS. I'm running it on an old computer with OS10. It was the last OS AccountEdge supported.
