The Sage Exchange: All About it
Before we get into the Exchange Error code, let us understand what the Sage Exchange is all about. Essentially the Sage Exchange refers to a Payment Program-certified payment platform. This can interface with software-installed applications like Accounting, ERP, medication management and also Property Maintenence. This way, for example, when any credit card payment has been done by a customer, the Sage Exchange is connected to via the application. It is here that all the required details and information regarding the credit card details are stored. Thus, a seamless, ‘flow’ of the relevant information takes place from the Credit card via the Sage Exchange in order to support the functionality.
In a way, that works more with the Sage Transfer Computer offering a smooth connection between the reporting application and the Sage Exchange. In order to use Sage Exchange, you simply need to install it and configure it. Hence, this works more like a one-place-for a payment platform that can be used to ‘take care’ of connecting the financial devices to the accounting software. Brilliant one might say! As it is a tedious task to take notes, cross-check and finally enter and type the required details and information from the appropriate financial inferences.
