In the past, I played around with Consolibyte’s Quickbooks PHP DevKit. It’s been many years hence, but the repo looks to be maintained still, and now seems to support the online version of QB along with the desktop version (the original one only supported the desktop version, IIRC):

> **[consolibyte/quickbooks-php](https://github.com/consolibyte/quickbooks-php)**
>
> QuickBooks Integration for PHP. Contribute to consolibyte/quickbooks-php development by creating an account on GitHub.

This is not a CakePHP plugin by any means, so you would need to create your own interface to operate between your app and Consolibyte’s library.

If you only need to interface with QB online, you can use Intuit’s official PHP SDK:

> **[intuit/QuickBooks-V3-PHP-SDK](https://github.com/intuit/QuickBooks-V3-PHP-SDK)**
>
> Official PHP SDK for QuickBooks REST API v3.0: https://developer.intuit.com/ - intuit/QuickBooks-V3-PHP-SDK

Hopefully this is something to get you started on a few creative ideas 🙂
