Desktop Migrators to QuickBooks Online Promotion

As of July 01, 2025, Intuit replaced the Desktop Migrator 50% off for 12 months promotion on all SKUs with a Tiered promotion strategy. The 50% off for 12 months is no longer available on all SKUs.

INTUIT QSP PROGRAM CHANGES

Sales and Referrals Outside the Territory

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the QuickBooks Solution Provider Program Agreement, the sale and/or referral of Intuit Products to customers residing outside of the US is strictly prohibited except for the referral of Intuit’s Canadian Products and/or Services to customers residing in Canada. Said referrals must be made to Intuit Canada ULC.

Use of Non-Customer Payment Methods

As a reminder to all QSPs participating in the Referral Commercial Model, as specified in the Program Guide, it is a program requirement that customers be billed directly by Intuit. It is a violation of the program policy to use a payment method other than that of a customer. Please note that the program policy is applicable to both current subscription or license renewals and to future sales. Customer renewal billing via purchase order (PO) will be handled via an exception approval process by submitting a request to alliances@mendelsonconsulting.com

QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop bounty changes

The bounty amount for US Enterprise Gold GNS bounty will increase from $1,776 to $1,976. Bounty amounts for US Enterprise Silver GNS and US Enterprise Platinum GNS remain the same. The bounty amount for Canadian Enterprise product is $1,665 USD for GNS

Changes to QuickBooks Enterprise bounty payments, all versions

The bounty payment period for Desktop Enterprise sales will be adjusted from six months to three months. The total bounty will be paid as follows: ⅓ for the first month and ⅓ for each of the next two months thereafter, based on the subscription status and active SKU on the last day of each month.

Changes to Compensation and Incentives

The following QuickBooks Online products will no longer have associated compensations or incentives:

  • Effective October 1, 2024
    • QBO Essentials bounty will be removed from the QSP Program.
    • QBO Payroll Core bounty will be removed from the QSP Program.
    • Intuit Field Service Management residuals will no longer be paid.
  • Effective December 1, 2024
    • Residual payments on Enterprise Silver, Gold, and Platinum will be reduced by 50% each fiscal year for the next three years.
  • Effective February 1, 2025
