General Information

RBC PayEdge currently supports direct API connectivity with three cloud-based accounting platforms:

  • QuickBooks Online (QBO)
  • Xero
  • Sage Accounting

In order to share information between the accounting software and your RBC PayEdge account, you can use the Sync feature (found on the Dashboard or Third Party Integrations page) once your account is connected.

Only information necessary to process the accounts payables is transmitted to RBC PayEdge; no personal information is shared.

When you sync your accounting software with RBC PayEdge, the following data exchange happens:

To RBC PayEdge

Outstanding payables/bills from your accounting software is transmitted to your RBC PayEdge account and can be found under Payments > Outstanding Payables. The information includes supplier name, currency, amount, remittance note, bill number, due date, accounting software name and invoice, if any.

Suppliers who have outstanding payables/bills are transmitted to your RBC PayEdge account and can be found under Suppliers > Manage Suppliers under the Attention Needed tab. The information includes supplier name, address and email, if any.

To Accounting Software

Paid bills from your RBC PayEdge account are transmitted back to your accounting software and the payment is closed as Paid in the accounting software. The information includes Payment Order number, supplier name, currency, amount, remittance note, bill number, payment status, payment date, fees and funding source information.

To learn more about your accounting software’s data sharing policy, please check your accounting software website.
