How to set up Opayo
Description

You can use Opayo to trade online and fully integrate transactions with Sage Accounts, automating and streamlining your sales and stock control. This saves you time and gives you the advantage of knowing that the data in Sage Accounts is what your customer entered online.

When you activate Opayo, you can enter credit card and debit card payments from your customers within Sage Accounts. You can also download transactions directly from the Opayo website. 

Opayo is compatible with PayPal.
