Here's something worth exploring.

How does PaymentEvolution relate to Sage 50cloud?

Our Sage 50CA Customer Support Analyst colleague, Denesh Sookar, points out that this data (in PaymentEvolution) creates a journal entry in Sage | Accounting which then also shows in your Sage 50 CA company database if both products are tied together with a Sage 50cloud subscription.

Note: Some clients may require features only available in Sage 50 Premium or Quantum editions. Learn more about this here on the blog Sage 50cloud: Set up your access to Sage Business Cloud| Accounting and Pegg!

When to choose Sage 50cloud's payroll Module?

Sage 50 CA's payroll module requires a Sage 50cloud subscription to access and an add-on subscription that says "with Payroll" for automatic tax calculations and e-filing capabilities (for T4, ROE, RL-1 submission).

Pricing for this option includes 10 employees to start, see KB 10625 for more on the below contact Sage 50 CA sales at 1-888-261-9610.

Note: The Sage 50cloud subscription enables access to Sage 50's payroll module only (the desktop install of the program).
