I need some guidelines here. I am creating an online booking system for my client that interfaces with QuickBooks on their internal network (desktop QuickBooks, not online).
Do I need to go the full "publish app" route? I do not wish to sell this app in the marketplace. This is merely a custom booking system designed and paid for by the client. It seems like I need to "publish" the app in the marketplace for them to be able to use it.
Are there ways around this?

The QuickBooks Online Accounting API lets your apps utilize key features and data in QuickBooks Online. Individual API entities correspond with forms, lists, and other tools in the customer-facing QuickBooks Online UI.
The QuickBooks Desktop API provides a system of resources parallel to QuickBooks Desktop forms and lists. At the core of double-entry bookkeeping is the concept that every transaction involves at least two accounts.
The QuickBooks Online API is FREE.
Update 06/23/2015 - To connect to a desktop QuickBooks installation the SDK with the Web Connector is now the only recommended approach. Intuit is removing Intuit Partner Platform (IPP) integration to desktop QuickBooks.
For the SDK/Web Connector, you don't need to go through any publication process or anything like that. Just build the solution, and connector your client.
There's a pretty good overview of how the QuickBooks web connector works on our QuickBooks wiki.
The QuickBooks SDK download also includes a huge PDF with detailed documentation about how to implement SDK/Web Connector applications as well.
