How to

Determine if you need to create a sales receipt or delete the transaction

  2. Log into the Opayo website (MyOpayo (opens in a new tab)) and check whether there is a transaction with the same Tran Code as that you made a note of:
    • If there is, the transaction was successfully transmitted to Opayo. You can create a sales receipt for the orphaned transaction.
    • If there is not, the transaction failed to reach Opayo. You need to delete the orphaned transaction and enter the receipt again.

What happens

When I have orphaned transactions?

An orphaned card transaction is a transaction that failed to complete due to a loss of connection between Sage 200 and Opayo.

If your system crashes before a receipt is returned from Opayo an orphan transaction is created in Sage 200. You need to investigate whether the transaction details were successfully transmitted and take appropriate action.

One of two possible issues will have occurred and need to be addressed:
