Payment Processing

With Sage 50 Accounting, you can use a payment processing service to pay bills electronically. If you also use Sage 50 Accounting to manage your payroll, you can use the same service to direct deposit paycheques to your employees' bank accounts. You can select either Direct Payments or Sage 50 EFT Direct.

You can also use this service to collect customer payments and deposit them directly to your bank account. For more information, see Pre-Authorized Debits.

Note: Internet access is required to use this service. Payroll features are only available with Sage 50 Pro Accounting and higher and subscription that includes payroll.
