Important Announcement

Paya Connect Desktop is the name of the product that was formerly called Paya Exchange Desktop (PED) and before that, Sage Exchange Desktop (SED).

What's New 

• Product name and corresponding logos have been updated to reflect Paya Connect Desktop (PCD)
• New card reader device supported: the IDTECH SRED Key. This device allows for PCI P2PE Compliant keyed (and swiped) transactions
• Grace Period for Mandatory Releases: new releases may be optional or mandatory. In the past, if a new release was mandatory, the user had no choice but to install the new release. With this release, we introduce the notion of a “Grace Period” which will allow a user to delay the installation of a mandatory release for a pre-defined number of days
• Other: enhanced security and release functionality and upgraded to Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 and defect fixes
