Sage Pay 'pay now' option
If you’re a Sage Pay user you can now add a ‘pay now’ button to your invoices in
Instant Accounts for speedy payment. For example, if you send invoices by email
you can embed a ‘pay now’ button in your invoice. This lets your customers make
immediate card payments online via the Sage Pay website - which provides more flexibility
of payment as well helping to improve your cash flow.
Import from Microsoft Excel
To save time on data input, you can now import data that has been saved in a Microsoft®
Excel file (.xls and .xlsx). You can also import .csv files, giving you extra flexibility
and saving you time when transferring your existing data into Instant Accounts.

Latest legislation updates
If you trade in the EC, as of January 2010 your VAT returns now need to show a clear
split between goods and services. In the new Instant Accounts you can set different
tax codes to easily distinguish between goods and services, whilst still making
sure you’re compliant. And, as online VAT submissions are mandatory in 2010, you’ll
also find the online submissions process easy to use.

You can now record barcodes in a new field in Instant Accounts – and print them
off on invoices and statements, which is a great way to track and trace products
and documents, or speed up stock takes. If you currently use barcode software, this
will be a real time saver for both you and your customers.
