Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner

Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner is an on-premise accounting system system. Stock2Shop will therefore be pushing updates from your Sage database using our Apifact software.

Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner is client-owned. This means that the Sage application is installed on a server at your office, on an on-site computer or on a server in the cloud. In order for Stock2Shop to facilitate integration between Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner and other sales channels and fulfilment services (e.g. Shopify, Magento 1.x, Magento 2.x, WooCommerce, the B2B Trade store, Parcelninja and Takealot Marketplace), we need access to the Sage database.

In the below documentation we will be covering:

Syncing products to Stock2Shop

Stock2Shop can sync products, product relationships (parent-child), categorisation, multiple warehouses and multiple price lists (tiers) from Sage 50cloud Pastel to your Stock2Shop console. This product information can then be distributed to one or multiple supported B2B and or B2C ecommerce sales channels.

Syncing customers to Stock2Shop

We currently do not support the syncing of customers from Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner to Stock2Shop, and there are no plans to build this functionality.

If customers are a requirement, please read up on how to import customers manually in to your client console here.

Raising orders to Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner

Stock2Shop can sync quotes, sales orders and invoices to Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner, using the order payload received from your sales channel(s). To enable us to do this, you will need to install the Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner SDK (software developers’ kit) client connector. Please contact Sage directly to get this business object in place, or ask your Sage consultant to assist.

The process for getting your SDK installed is as follows:

  • Phone the Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner sales department and request the “Pastel Partner SDK client connector”.
  • They will send you an indemnity form to fill out and send back to them.
  • They will then send you a registration code.
  • Phone the Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner registrations department and ask them to “register” the SDK connector.

Once this is done you should see the module reflect in your Sage 50cloud Pastel Partner by viewing “Help > About” in the Sage main menu.
