Paya, Stripe and Paypal payment services.

Question

I need to talk with Sage 50- US customers that have made the decision between Paya, Stripe and Paypal payment services. We are a small gov't entity that bills out quarterly for wastewater services but want to give our customers an online payment option. After several attempts to reach someone at Sage for some direction with no results I'm turning to the community for input on whether any of the options might be a good fit for us. - Help?

Here are a couple more things to consider. 
 PayPal and Stripe will take their fees out of each transaction and deposit the net amount in your account. Paya will deposit the full amount of the sale into your bank account, then deduct all fees at the end of the month. 
 PayPal and Stripe only work by including an online payment link with an emailed invoice. Paya does that plus gives you the option of processing credit cards from the Receive Money window in Sage 50.

Hello poopclerk. All three merchants give you an online option for your customers that is activated by emailing the customer their invoice. When you send a customer an invoice with Invoice Payment enabled, the customer will then have a pay now option on their invoice they can click on and process their payment with whatever merchant you choose. As for which merchant is better, it really comes down to a matter of preference and price. Many customers feel safer with PayPal as they are a widely known company, however, they may not be the cheapest option for you. I would recommend looking at each companies site and look into which pricing plan works best for your company. 
 Sage has a great article on how to set up invoice payments in the program that may be helpful for you in knowing how exactly it works. Check out that article here!

I get an email for each transaction. You can also look in your portal https://www.sageexchange.com/SEP/Default 
 
 Look at the reports current or settled batches.
