Hello Fahmiin, 

Sage 50 US provides three types of interfaces to integrate with external applications: COM, .NET and ODBC. The ODBC interface is read-only but the other two support read/write operations.

The COM/.NET APIs are suitable for desktop/client-server type applications but can be adopted for web applications with additional layers of code.

You can download the currently supported versions 2019.2 SDK from KB 96384 and 2020.0 SDK from KB 99380. They contain sample code and documentation on the APIs.

 Once you install the SDK, the documentation files will be copied to the following folders by default:

 “C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage\Sage 50 2019.2 SDK” as .CHM files and My documents folder such as “C:\Users\Soumen\Documents\Sage 50 2019.2 SDK” as .PDF files.

We have a Developer Partner Program which will entitle you to an extra license of Sage 50 for development purposes and API technical support. The subscription fee is $350 for the first year and $250 each subsequent year. If you would like to subscribe, please send your contact details to [email protected]. Thanks!

HI Soumen,

Thanks for the quick reply. I was wondering if there're any PHP SDK available that you know of, or perhaps a recommended third party connector for SAGE 50? .NET would not be an ideal option for us.

There is no built-in PHP interface to Sage 50. I found these 3^rd party products which might be useful to convert/integrate PHP code with .NET API.

Thanks a lot. How about direct connectors to SAGE 50? Something like https://www.suntico.com/sage-50-api/ or any others that you've seen being used before?

I have not seen the quoted product myself but you can certainly try. Any connector must use either the COM or the .NET API as the underlying layer because these two are the only interfaces exposed by Sage 50.
