In addition to the text instructions below, you can also watch our Webinar on how to set up FastPay within Workamajig.

Setting Up FastPay

To setup integration between Workamajig and ePay requires the following:

Setup an API connection to FastPay
Import a report used by the API
Add a FastPay GL account in the Workamajig chart of accounts. (Optional)

NOTE: If you are using a local-hosted Workamajig server, you must have a valid 3rd-Party SSL certificate associated with the Workamajig URL for the FastPay to work.

Below are the step by step instructions to setup a connection to FastPay in Workamajig.

Setup FastPay Bank Account

FastPay processes payments in a couple of ways:

Payments made using the Card or ACH function, the funds will be pulled from your bank account in one total payment.
Payments made via check will act as a normal check and are deducted from your bank account as they are deposited/cashed by the vendors.

Due to this, there are 2 ways to setup your bank accounts:

Use Current Account
Create FastPay Account

Use Current Account

No further setup is needed. However, if you are still using your current check stock, during the Create Payments step, you will need to adjust the Next Check Number to the "next" FastPay check number. If you will only be using FastPay, then adjust the Next Check Number on the GL Account.

NOTE: the report that will be used for the integration is preset to look for check numbers beginning with 100000.

Payment to FastPay

Current Bank Account Setup

The ACH and Card Payments will be deducted from the account as a single withdrawal. Checks will be withdrawn as the vendor deposits the payment. Plan your bank reconciliation accordingly.

Fast Pay Account Setup

FastPay will deduct money from your "Main" bank account via an ACH transaction or as checks are deposited by the vendors, you will need to account for this within Workamajig.
Create a Journal Entry that Credits: "Main" Checking / Debits: FastPay Checking. You can edit the Journal Entry Number or add a comment to designate it as a FastPay transaction.

For the individual checks that were deposited by vendors, create a Journal Entry for the total value of all cleared checks in the period.
This will fund the FastPay Checking account.

The checks you created to pay vendors in Workamajig> Credit: FastPay Checking / Debit: AP

Import Credit Card Charges

Fastpay allows you to download credit card charges tracked and paid via Fastpay

1. Create a GL Account:

Menu>Admin/Manager>System Settings>GL Settings>GL Accounts> create new GL account: Account Type= Credit Card:
