Report Designer - Show Pay Now button on proforma invoices when using Opayo

Summary

Edit your Sage 50 Accounts invoice layout to show a Pay Now button on proforma invoices, to help you get paid faster.

Description

With Opayo by Elavon, you can add a Pay Now button on your invoices to help speed up payments. It’s not shown on proformas by default, but if you want it there too, you can easily tweak the layout in Report Designer.

NOTE: This feature is only available to customers who use Opayo by Elavon, not if using Invoice Payments. 

Resolution

Open your layout in Report Designer

  1. Click Invoices and credits, select a single invoice, then click Print.
  2. Browse to and select the Opayo invoice layout you want to edit.
  3. Click Edit.

NOTE: If you issue a proforma with a Pay Now button, we recommend using a layout without a Pay Now button when you issue the invoice. This avoids your customer paying twice in error. 

 


Amend your Pay Now button

  1. On the Report Designer menu bar click Report, then click Report Properties.
  2. Enter a new report name and description then click OK.
  3. Locate and click the Pay Now button, usually within the INVOICE_NUMBER Footer section.
