Useful info
About Opayo
Opayo (formerly Sage Pay) is an online card service provider similar to PayPal. Opayo integrates seamlessly with Sage 200 making it easier for your customers to pay you and easier for you to process those payments.
Once you've subscribed and integrated Opayo with Sage 200, you can:
- Take card payments from your customers and input them directly into Sage 200. This is useful when a customer pays you over the phone.
- Add Pay Now buttons to invoices, statements and debtor letters, so your customers can pay you immediately. Your customer just clicks the button and enters their card details.
- Import payments made using the Pay Now option, directly into Sage 200.
Using more than one Opayo account
If you have more than one Opayo account, you must set up a separate configuration for each one and choose which Sage 200 companies to link to each one. Card payments are then processed for the Opayo account the company is linked to.
Each Sage 200 company can only be linked to one Opayo account.
About the merchant account
You must choose a bank account where Opayo transactions are recorded in Sage 200. This links Opayo to this bank account and all card payments are recorded against this account.
If you want to, you can set up a new bank account for these transactions. See Create or amend a bank account.
Tip: As Opayo transactions may be collated and paid into your real life bank account as amalgamated totals that won't easily match transactions in Sage 200, we recommend that you use a separate bank account for your Opayo transactions. You can then transfer the values to your other bank accounts in Sage 200, with dates and values that reflect the actual transactions, making bank reconciliation easier.
Fix it
Get a 'Company already assigned' error?
This means that the selected company has already been assigned to the Opayo account, can can't be linked to another one.
You'll need to remove the company from an existing configuration before you can assign it to this one.
Change the Administrator password for my Opayo account
If the Administrator password for your Opayo account has changed, you'll need to delete the configuration and set it up again using the new password.
What happens when I
Put my account into test mode?
You can post test online card receipt and refund transactions from Sage 200, use the Opayo test server to ensure they are successfully reaching Opayo.
You must use the test bank card details provided by Opayo for your testing.
Make my account live?
You can begin to take real online card payments and make refunds.
Remove an Opayo account?
This removes the link between Sage 200 and the selected Opayo account, so you'll no longer be able process card payments for this account.
If you remove the last configuration, you won't be able to process card payments at all.
If you remove one in error, simply set it up again.
