Zahara + Sage 50 Integration FAQs
Everything you need to know about setup, syncing, and how Zahara makes invoice approvals in Sage 50 faster and smarter.
How does Zahara Sync with Sage 50?
Zahara connects with Sage 50 using our own SmartSync tool. This on-premise tool must be installed on your PC or server that connects with Sage 50. This is then set to poll for new invoices and can sync key information on a schedule. New suppliers can be originated in Zahara and created in Sage 50 at the time of creating the first invoice.
Does Zahara send the PDF of the invoice to Sage 50?
The PDF of the invoice can be placed in Sage 50's folder structure but we can also put a document link into Sage 50 that takes you to the corresponding invoice in Zahara.
What subscriptions of Sage 50 do I need to integrate with Zahara?
Sage 50's API can be enabled for all versions.
How much does it cost to integrate Zahara with Sage 50?
SmartSync is an optional add-on, and pricing depends on how many Sage 50 Companies you use and the volume of data you’d like to sync. The best way to get an accurate cost is to chat with our team.

Is Zahara Cloud-based?
Yes 100%. Zahara runs in a web browser so anyone can access it from any device. We also have a mobile app available on both IOS and Android and you can control what access user's have on quite a granular level.
Does Zahara read invoice PDFs?
Yes. When a supplier emails an invoice to Zahara, it’s scanned instantly. We extract the key details — supplier names, line items, tax amounts — and apply your coding rules so it’s ready to approve.
Got something unusual on your invoices? No problem. Send us a few examples and we’ll train Zahara’s AI to pick up exactly what matters to you.

Will Zahara match supplier data and line items correctly?
Zahara reads invoices with smart AI and matches suppliers, line items, and tax codes to your Xero data. It follows your rules, applies your logic, and keeps things accurate every time.
Can I track budgets in Zahara while still using Sage 50
Yes. If you’re on the Business plan or using the budgets feature (see pricing), Zahara shows you what’s already committed and what’s still available. You’ll get clear budget visibility before anything’s approved or pushed to Xero — so you can stop overspending before it starts.
Will I need to change the way I work?
Deploying Zahara is an opportunity to sanity check how you benchmark against similar organisations. We have a lot of Sage 50 customers and we have provided great advice to help them process their invoices faster and with less effort. We have a huge amount of settings that enable you to carry on using Sage 50 the way you like. As an example you may use Departments for Projects. That's ok. We have a tick box for that. It could be you like to put invoices on Dispute first. We may show you a better way that's more efficient. If Zahara is one thing (apart from being friendly) - it's flexible.
