Insufficient scopes
During authentication, it is important to note the appropriate scopes are added to provide access to the relevant API. These scopes can be added within the Scope connection property.
When connecting to the QuickBooks Accounting API, add the ‘com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting’ scope. When connecting to the QuickBooks Payments API, add the ‘com.intuit.quickbooks.payment’ scope.

Confirm the base URL
When connecting to your QuickBooks Online instance, you have the option to connect to a sandbox or production company by specifying the UseSandbox connection property.
If you are connecting to a sandbox company, please ensure you are inputting a sandbox URL (e.g. https://sandbox-quickbooks.api.intuit.com) in the URL connection property.
If instead you are connecting to a production company, please ensure you are inputting the production URL (e.g. https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com).
