Connect to a payment service

If your business accepts credit card payments from customers, you can use a payment service. Any invoices you send to customers through email can include a Pay Now option so your customers can pay you online.

Payments are securely processed through the payment provider and, then, deposited directly to your bank account. When you open your company, Sage 50 downloads any customer payments.

Note: Internet access is required to use a payment service.

Select the payment service that best suits your needs:

  • If your business needs an online invoicing solution, then payment services like Fortis, Stripe, and PayPal are suitable. Whenever you send an invoice through email, your customer can see a Pay Now button in the email.
  • Paya can be used for online invoicing as well as ACH and credit card payments, including with a reader.

Note: Although either option lets you easily track credit card transactions, you can immediately start collecting customer payments with Fortis, Stripe, and PayPal; however, with Paya, you must apply for a merchant account, which has an approval process. You also must set up Paya in Sage 50 to enable online invoicing.
