If you’re working with Sage Pastel accounting software, you will need to assign your Pastel Store Code and Pastel Tax Code as well, so that all the transactions can get associated within the software on import.

As for the  Generic Integration, it will allow you to download a CSV file with order information that can serve as a log of your transactions, or potentially be used to import into other accounting software by manipulating the data and document fields

Once you have filled out the fields, click on the blue button label  Install.


If you don’t know your Pastel Store Code or Tax Code, please read below for a step-by-step on how to find this information on the Sage Pastel Accounting Software.
