Sage Pastel E-Business Store End of Life

As the market-leading cloud software provider, Sage is delivering on its vision by offering cloud-first and digitally driven solutions to enable optimal operational performance and business continuity to help you fulfil your business needs. Our primary goal is to provide you with enhanced value, the latest technology capabilities, coupled with a superior service offering to take full advantage of the accelerated move to the cloud.

After careful consideration aligned with customer-led insights, we have decided to end of life Sage Pastel E-Business Store Software by 31 July 2021. We will continue to support Sage Pastel E-Business Store Software for South African customers until 31 July 2021. After that date, we will stop supporting the product in any way or issue patches.

What are your options

Ensuring business continuity under any circumstances and the enablement of virtual collaboration and engagement are key business drivers. With this comes the opportunity to empower your employees with excellent digital experiences.

Depending on your current business needs and future requirements, we have identified three alternative Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) - Stock2Shop, Moditar and Unisource b2bEDI. All three ISVs offer online e-commerce store integration to our Sage accounting products.

• Moditar provides pre-configured connectors for fast and cost-effective integration to e-Commerce sites. e-Commerce sites typically use REST APIs, which are quick and easy to connect your Sage accounting solution.
• Stock2Shop develops sophisticated customer portals (B2B trade stores). With customisable B2B trade stores, customers can sell their products to different customers at different prices. Customers or sales reps can see up-to-date inventory and order directly into their ERP or accounting system, straight from their mobile.
• Unisource b2bEDI - the Business-2-Business Gateway is an exceptionally powerful module that enables Sage 200 Evolution and Sage 50clud Pastel to be seamlessly integrated with complex, disparate systems. The Business-2-Business Gateway allows for integrations with your Sage Accounting solution to quickly import or export data from integration points such as Purchase and Sales Orders, Invoices, et cetera.

Next steps

We encourage you to review the three alternative solutions and select the one that best meets your current business requirements and future demands as your business grows. We trust that you will prioritise the review and selection of a new solution to allow for enough time to migrate you to the solution of your choice.
