Has anyone used Sage 100 eInvoicing? How does it work?

SOLVED

I see this feature was released in Sage 100 version 2020. We're the process of upgrading to Sage 2019 and want to plan for the future. I tried to find a video showing how this feature works but couldn't find anything online. I have many questions.

  • From my understanding on what I read, it emails customers you designate a link in the invoice that they can click on to pay. Where does this link take the customer? Can this be embedded into our existing website or does it need to be a separate website?
  • Is there anything on that page that the customer clicks on that shows it's our company they are paying? Can we put our logo, name, address, etc. on there?
  • What type of payment confirmation does the customer get?
  • What type of notification do we get internally that a customer paid their invoice this way?
  • From the documentation it sounds like a customer can only pay one invoice at a time from the link on the email, is this correct? If a customer has 5 invoices open, do they need to make 5 separate payments, or can they pay multiple invoices at a time?
  • How do payments download to us? Where do they download?

    Let me attempt to answer these questions.

    1. The email is sent during invoice register update (one email per invoice).  It has a link to a Paya payment page which shows the invoice details.  The customer can pay the invoice there.  I don't think that page can be embedded to your website.

    2. The email and the payment page can be customized with your company name and logo.  You need to ask Paya to show you how.

    3. The customer will get an email.  They can also log into a customer portal to see their invoices and payments.

    4. You get an email and  you can log into the merchant portal to see the invoices and payments.

    5. The customer can only pay one invoice at a time because Sage 100 imports the payment records into cash receipts.  Sage 100 needs to know which invoice was paid.

    6. Payment records are imported into cash receipts.  There is an Import button on the Cash Receipts Entry - Deposit screen.  After the records are imported, you print and update the cash receipts register as normal.   If you are asking about how you receive the actual money,  you need to ask Paya.

    Has anyone been successful in customizing the email that is initially sent to the customer?  The email looks very "spammy'.  I called customer suppport a few times and they are unable to tell me where I can customzie this.   I don't feel comfortable sending this email to my customers.  Here is a screenshot of what was receive when I did a test:
