Connecting to Reckon

The add-in makes requests to Reckon through the CData QuickBooks Desktop Gateway. It runs on the same machine as Reckon and accepts connections through a lightweight, embedded Web server. The server supports SSL/TLS, enabling users to connect securely from remote machines. The first time you connect, you will need to authorize the add-in with Reckon. For more information, refer to our Using the QuickBooks Gateway guide.
