Configure outbound settings

Important This content is part of a pilot release. If you haven't been contacted to be part of this pilot, refer to our standard content for Sage People Payflow

Update the outgoing server address and path in your Payflow service to reference the file transfer platform web address and folder. This specifies the location where your outbound Payflow (download) files will be deposited on the file transfer platform.

  1. Open the outbound Payflow service you want to migrate, and select Configure.
  2. In the Download Files section select Download Configure:

    Sage People displays the Download Configure page.

  3. Update the following fields:

    Field Description
    Outgoing Server

    The fully-qualified domain name of the SFTP file transfer platform that will receive the download file. Enter the URL for the file transfer platform:

    https://sftpgo.eu.sagepeople.com/

    Note When cloning a Payflow service with an outgoing server defined, to prevent unwanted data transfer, blank this field on the copy until you are ready to test the data connection.
    Outgoing Path

    Enter the folder path on the file transfer platform that will be used to store the download file. This folder path must be unique per Payflow service.

    When you save the download configuration, Payflow will create this folder on the file transfer platform. We recommend that you use a folder name related to the purpose of the Payflow service, for example: payroll

    No leading or trailing slash (/) is required.

    Note that you cannot deliver files to the root folder in the file transfer platform, so this field must have a value.

    Your third-party payroll processing system must be configured to retrieve files from this folder, or files can be forwarded to the third-party system using file forwarding.

  4. Select Save.
