How to process credit card by using

Hello all,

I am doing shopping cart project for my client and one of the requirement is using intuit's (http://www.intuit.com/) product to process credit card in real manner, as the client is going to integrate the online shop with quickbook in later stage.

My question is, does intuit products purely payment gateway solution? as in this stage, we are not involved with any dev work about quickbook, the main focus for us is deliver the high quality shopping cart solution, we read something about intuit's web shop solution but seems this one require quickbook running in desktop to sync the data?

Very confused now, if anyone had experience before, please help!

quickbooks does provide merchant accounts through QuickBooks Merchant Services (QBMS). QBMS can be accessed through an XML API. An example of accessing the gateway through PHP is here:
