title: Does my QuickBooks Online App need to run in a separate window or tab? Are there apps that run like plugins, within the same window as QB Online?
body: <p>I am currently developing a QuickBooks Online App. Many of the existing apps in the Quickbooks Online store run in a separate window or tab within the browser. The applications have their own User Interface running in a separate window/tab.</p>
  <p>Can I develop a QuickBooks Online application that acts more similarly to a plugin?</p>
  <p>We want the users to remain in their current instance of QuickBooks Online, and use our application as a plugin--adding services &amp; functionality.</p>
  <p>We would like to avoid running our app in its own separate window/tab.</p>
  <p>Do you think I'd be better off developing as browser plugin for Chrome?</p>
  <p>One problem may be Intuit's OAuth 2.0 requirements. We wouldn't be able to access the user's QuickBooks information without going through the OAuth Flow.</p>
