Accounting Sync

Mercoa supports accounting sync with Codat and Rutter. These are referred to as “Accounting Sync Platforms.”

Add API Key

In the developer portal, choose the accounting sync platform and provide your API key.

Sync Entity

You must tie the Mercoa entity with the business object created in the accounting sync platform. Mercoa can create a new object in the accounting sync platform, or tie the entity to an existing object.
