Can I integrate my Vivid Business account with Sage 50?

Yes. Sage 50 (Windows) connects to your Vivid Business account via FinTS: you can import your transactions and send SEPA transfers. Setup takes about 10–15 minutes.

This integration is available for businesses based in Germany. Any team member can set it up, whatever their role.

Before you start

  • Open your company (Mandant) in Sage 50.

  • Keep the Vivid app or Vivid web at hand: you will confirm the connection there.

Step 1. Create your FinTS PIN in Vivid

  1. Open Vivid Business and go to Transactions → Bookkeeping → Bookkeeping software.

  2. Generate a PIN. Copy it: you will need it in Sage 50.

Each new PIN replaces the previous one. If you delete the PIN, Sage 50 loses access.

Step 2. Add Vivid in Sage 50

  1. Go to Dienste → Zahlungsverkehr → HBCI-Kontaktverwaltung and create a new HBCI/FinTS bank access.

  2. Enter the bank code 20220867. Sage 50 shows "Diese Bank wird höchstwahrscheinlich nicht unterstützt". This is expected: the option "Zugangsdaten im Expertenmodus selbst eingeben" is ticked automatically. Click Weiter.

  3. Enter the details:

  4. Enter the PIN from step 1 and confirm the login in the Vivid app or in Vivid web.

  5. Select the accounts you want to use in Sage 50.

Good to know

  • You can send single SEPA transfers in EUR. Instant transfers, batch transfers and direct debits are not supported.

  • For security, a session ends after 5 minutes without activity. After 5 wrong PIN attempts, FinTS access is blocked. To unblock it, delete the PIN in Vivid and generate a new one.
