Sage 50 and Takealot, explained
How does Takealot connect to Sage 50?
A Sage 50 Takealot integration runs a small agent beside your Pastel data that sends leadtime stock to your Takealot offers and brings each sale and seller statement back into Sage 50 as invoices and fee journals.
Sage 50 + Takealot
How does Takealot fit around a desktop Sage 50 setup?
Takealot expects offer quantities to be current, but Sage 50 only speaks to the outside world while its machine is running. We schedule offer updates during trading hours, queue Takealot sales that arrive overnight and post them in order the next morning. Because Takealot keeps the customer, sales go to a single Takealot debtor in Sage 50, and the seller statement is posted as fees against that account, so the debtor balance matches what Takealot actually pays you.
