Integrating with AccountEdge

Rerun-AccountEdge integration is facilitated through Dropbox. Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/) provides a secure, cloud repository for file storage and data exchange. We use Dropbox technology to link AccountEdge with Rerun. Information is synchronized between your AccountEdge company file and Dropbox; it is then synchronized between Dropbox and Rerun. The information that is exchanged between Dropbox, your AccountEdge company file, and Rerun is limited and specific. Your company file is not copied to Dropbox, only the necessary information to process Rerun transactions will be exchanged. Therefore, your company file and its contents are secure because they never leave your machine.

When Rerun is integrated with your AccountEdge company file, you can sync all your customers cards, items that you sell, and sales tax codes to Rerun. For items to sync with Rerun, they must be check marked as I Sell only.

If you are using the merchant services of Forte Payment Systems (formally known as ACH Direct) through your AccountEdge company file, the customer credit card token information will be imported into Rerun, so you won't need to reenter your customers' payment information.

Before linking Rerun to your AccountEdge company file through Dropbox, you'll need to establish a Dropbox account. It is a free service that will provide you with 2 gigabytes of free storage.
