• What differentiates Sage 50cloud from Sage | Accounting?

  The Sage 50cloud package includes Sage | Accounting plus more, it's handy if you want to transfer or share data with Sage | Accounting, after that you can either use Sage | Accounting only (doable is you were on a Pro edition of  Sage 50 ) or you can use the mobile app plus Sage 50 features in higher editions of Sage 50 (like Premium or Quantum. This will allow you to have data related to income and expenses transferred between the two products. The two products don’t speak to each other unless you have Sage 50cloud. Our development team is working on having both products seamlessly transfer all data and history between each other and other 3rd party products.

Sage 50cloud Q&A: Invoice Payments, PayPal, and Bank Feeds

The investigation continues. Our Senior Trainer, Fanny Laguna, checked in with our Research & Development team to chime with answers to the below questions. The Sage 50 US team was also consulted to check in on some differences.

We've looked into comparing Sage 50 US vs Canada, to whether you can setup PayPal in Sage 50cloud and  Sage | Accounting Bank Feeds or as a POS.

In the USA, it's now possible to connect Sage | Accounting (formerly Sage One) to PayPal (see screenshot below). Sage 50 US Support Anaylst, Donald Cooper advised that the "banking cloud" in Sage 50 US is only used to pull transactions for Account Reconciliation and uses the plaid connector to do so. 

This is different for Sage 50 Canada where so far, the only option is to connect to PayPal Extras MasterCard*. In Canada, both Sage | Accounting and Sage 50 CA Bank Feeds use Yodlee as the third party who manages connections with banks, and most credit cards and credit unions. 

The May 28, 2018 blog Sage 50cloud Q&A: Invoice Payments, PayPal, and Bank Feeds will address questions like:

• When will we know whether the PayPal Here Card Reader can be used as a POS system integrated with Sage to receive card payments in person?

• Is it possible to instantly transfer PayPal received funds to a Canadian bank account?

• Are there any solutions to working with US/CA funds?

• How could the PayPal Here Card Reader integrate with Sage 50?  

• What are some alternate ways of connecting a PayPal account to Sage 50 CA?

• What payment methods may be accepted by Sage | Accounting and Sage 50 in the future?

• What are some risks with using PayPal as a payment service?
