Many Sage Pro ERP users accept credit card payments from their customers. Until Sage Pro 7.3, this was only recognized in Sage Pro by allowing manual entry of cash receipts. Sage Pro 7.3 created a new add-on module to allow integration of credit card receipts to accounts receivable.

Enhancements have continued with this module in recent versions. Pre- and post-authorization ability was added in Sage Pro 7.3b, and full integration with Sage Payment Solutions processor was included in Sage Pro 7.4 with service pack 3. And in the upcoming release of Sage Pro 7.5, the credit card module will integrate with the Sage Payments Solutions Web gateway, which means users will no longer need to host a PCCharge transaction server themselves. This will also allow access to the more extensive reporting utilities offered by the Sage Payments services.

Licensing is available for Full and Limited Editions. Limited is less expensive but requires that your credit card processor be either Card Services International or Sage Payment Solutions. If you wish to use your bank or another processor supported by PCCharge, it will be necessary to purchase the Full Edition license. Purchase of the Sage Pro Credit Card add-on includes a one-year subscription to Verifone's PCCharge Support plan.

Each Sage Pro user who will be performing credit card transactions will require a Terminal User ID with PCCharge. Credit card transactions include processing payments, refunds, pre-authorizations, and post-authorizations.
