How to establish a test environment for QB online for our testing of the integration with Fishbowl Inventory? QB online test drive does not save any data.

Hey there, @tom-degrave.

 

We don't have any official testing platforms other than the Test Drive, which as you mentioned doesn't save any data. If the trial expires, you'd need to start a subscription.

 

In terms of making changes without affecting your production environment, you'd have to utilize the account you used with the trial to do so.

 

I hope this clears things up for you! Please know I'm always available here to lend a helping hand.

Hey there, @tom-degrave. Thanks for joining the Community.

 

I've got you covered here. You can signup for a trial to set up a company for testing purposes. The trial will last for 30 days so that you can thoroughly test the integration.

 

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to be of assistance. Have a good one!

Thanks Michael for the quick reply. Using a trial version for testing leads me to more questions:

 

1) What do I do if my testing period goes beyond the 30-day trial period? Who or how can this be extended?

2) Once in Production with Fishbowl + QB online, how do I test configuration and integration changes without impacting Production environment? Do I have to take out and configure a trial subscription every time I need to test a change?
