AccountSync Tutorial
Step 1: Setting up the Nature Store
Our first order of business is to set up a StoreFront 6.0 web store for The Nature Store,
which will give us something on the StoreFront side of things to to connect to with
AccountSync (we’ll set up the QuickBooks company later, in the next step).
To do this, you’ll need a StoreFront 6.0 web store that uses an Access database.
It can be at any location, local or live. If you have a machine where you can create
a local store, you may wish to construct one just for the purpose of following the
instructions in this tutorial.
After you’ve found a store to use, do the following:
- Open the site in Dreamweaver or FrontPage.
- Open the folder containing the store's database. By default, this will be the db folder.
- Rename the SF6.mdb in this location to SF6.old. If your database has a name other than SF6.db, simply change its extension to .old
-
Replace it with this database. This is the Nature Store's database,
and it contains the product and order records you'll need to complete the tutorial.
If your store's original database has a name other than SF6.mdb, you'll need to rename this
database to have the same name.
After importing the database, verify that the site’s basic functionality is
operational (make sure that you can load the Merchant Tools, that the store’s
path settings are configured to correctly reflect its location, and that you can
connect to it with the Client Tools). Once you’ve completed this, move on to the
next step.
