What is AccountEdge Connect?

AccountEdge Connect is our optional cloud add-on that allows users to perform key functions from any web-enabled device and sync back to AccountEdge Pro.

NOTE: AccountEdge Connect is a powerful collaboration tool enabling users to leverage desktop data from any web-enabled device. It is not a stand-alone product; it requires AccountEdge Pro on the desktop for use.

What Syncs?

On your initial sync, AccountEdge list information from the desktop will be sent to your AccountEdge Connect account. This will enable you to create transactions from any web-enabled device using data from your AccountEdge Company File. These Lists include all cards, items, tax codes, currencies, selling and buying details, jobs, activities, default payment methods, and more. With each subsequent sync, card and job changes are merged in both directions, and the latest quantities on hand for your items are synced to AccountEdge Connect. Open receivables are also synced.

All Sales and Purchases transactions created in AccountEdge Connect will sync to AccountEdge Pro.

Sales and Purchases created in AccountEdge Pro will sync with AccountEdge Connect, including line-item transaction detail for Web Pay sales.

Activity slips, and payments (receive money and spend money transactions) are not synced from AccountEdge Pro to AccountEdge Connect.
