3. Update Selling Channel URL: Use this button to fill out a form to transfer your website to another URL. This is ideal, if you are transferring a site from development to production. Connex will transfer all rules, settings, and sales tax code mappings to the new website.
4. Refresh Chart of Accounts: Use this button to update Connex with your Chart of Accounts from QuickBooks. This setting is typically used when you have added or updated accounts within QuickBooks and an error is occurring because your accounts no longer match what is on file in Connex.
