Sage Software say’s “not so fast” to free MAS90 Credit Card Processing By Sage offer

October 17, 2008 by Wayne Schulz

According to a consultant who has spoken today with Sage Software, the following is the policy for the Credit Card By Sage module:

As you know, we’d previously written about this module being free (as in no money down) due to the current Sage Software promotions that were distributed earlier this month to Sage Business Partners.

It seems that Sage Software hasn’t quite figured out the details and perhaps the marketing announcement got out ahead of the sales department.

From what we just heard from the Sage order desk, here’s how it will work:

You pay full price for the module

Sage rebates the cost at some future time – perhaps after enrollment to use their Sage Payment Services merchant services.

I’ve sent a message to Sage for their feedback on this new information. As soon as I learn more I will update this post.

Update: October 20, 2008 – we are receiving conflicting information about the definition of free. So far the replies have been that Sage will rebate, will provide free given proof of Sage Payment enrollment, will rebate based on transaction fees. My advice? Push for totally free.

Cost of the Credit Card Processing by Sage Software is still free. It’s just Free after Rebate.

    I’m still getting conflicting emails from other Sage Resellers on this promotion. This should be an easy promo.

    The intent is for the module (built into MAS) to be free.

    How they (Sage) do it is the current mystery.

    In any event — if you’re thinking about Credit Card processing you definitely should go this way instead of PC Charge. It’s tons easier to setup and frankly PC Charge is a gigantic pain in the ass to deal with.

    FYI

    I agree about the PC Charge being a giant pain. But, even with the new credit card module with Sage Payament Solutions taking credit card deposits on Sales Orders must be done carefully. It is easy to charge a card twice if the client is not doing everything correctly. Helping the client setup correct procedures is really important. Depending on how the client processes deposits on sales orders, I have found the Extended Solution SO-1032 very helpful. On the AR side…How nice and easy. I am getting good reviews on the reports available in Virtual Terminal too.

    Thanks Merilyn – I hadn’t worked with SO-1032 before so I looked up the description:

    Multiple Customer Deposits on a Sales Order
    Allows for an unlimited number of deposits to be applied to a Sales Order and allows deposits from A/R Cash Receipts to be applied to a customer’s Sales Orders. Additionally, terms codes may be associated with payment type to provide defaulting logic.

    The whole deposit area tends to be confusing. Anyone who is doing much work with credit cards and deposits should look at SO-1032!

    Thanks – great observation.
