3RD PARTY DEVELOPMENT

THE SAGE PASTEL SOFTWARE DEVELOPER’S KIT (SDK) ALLOWS DEVELOPERS TO EASILY AND SEAMLESSLY DEVELOP ADDITIONAL MODULES, FRONT-ENDS AND SPECIALIST IMPORTS AND EXPORTS FOR SAGE PASTEL PARTNER.

Using the SDK, a developer can for example, create a specialised invoicing screen for a particular vertical market, and simply send the information to the SDK. The SDK will perform all the validations as if it was a normal Sage Pastel invoice, and update all the relevant Pastel files. Using the SDK ensures that the integrity of the data is maintained.

The Sage Pastel SDK must be used within an ActiveX compliant programming environment. Typical examples of such programming environments are the latest versions of Microsoft C++, Clarion, Delphi , Microsoft Office and Microsoft Visual Basic. A practical programming knowledge of these development languages is a pre-requisite when using the SDK.

The Sage Pastel SDK is compliant with Sage Pastel Accounting 2004 through to 2007.

The Sage Pastel SDK license is sold on an annual subscription basis. This subscription is subject to your acceptance of the Sage Pastel Developer’s Licence Agreement.
