If your team relies on SAP Business One for daily operations, there’s a good chance you’ve used Boyum B1 iPayment at some point. It’s been a convenient option for basic credit card processing, but as your business grows, your tools need to evolve too.

This article will walk you through everything you need to know to move from Boyum B1 iPayment to EBizCharge, a modern payment solution that offers deeper functionality and a smoother experience. This isn’t just a technical switch—it’s a way to upgrade how you handle payment processing day-to-day.

Understanding B1 iPayment and Its Limitations

Boyum’s B1 iPayment is an add-on designed for SAP Business One that enables credit card processing within the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. It works, but it may not keep pace with how businesses need to accept and manage payments today.

Users often run into limitations: a dated interface, minimal customization, and clunky reporting features. There’s also the matter of support—it can be difficult to get timely help when issues arise. And as payment security standards evolve, many teams find themselves questioning whether their current setup is doing enough.

If your business has outgrown B1 iPayment, you’re not alone. More and more teams are looking for a payment processing solution that better supports their operations.

Why EBizCharge?

So why make the move to EBizCharge? First off, it’s a third-party payment processor built specifically for ERP users who want more control over their payment workflows, especially those who’ve found Boyum B1 iPayment starting to hold them back.

Businesses looking to upgrade often deal with a growing number of transactions, more complex customer needs, or simply tighter cash flow targets. EBizCharge is built to help with exactly that.

Here’s what it brings to the table:

• A clean, modern interface that’s easier to train on and use daily
• Seamless payment integration with SAP Business One that doesn’t require workarounds
• Flexible payment options like email pay links and customer portals to give customers more ways to pay
• Detailed reporting and better visibility into every transaction, so your finance team spends less time chasing data

Beyond features, EBizCharge supports businesses with strong customer service, ongoing updates, and a commitment to Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance. It also eliminates the need to store sensitive credit card data in SAP, reducing risk and simplifying audits.

If you’re used to Boyum B1 iPayment’s limitations, you’ll notice the difference immediately. EBizCharge takes the friction out of your payment processing system so you can spend more time focused on running your business, and less time troubleshooting payments.

Planning the Migration

Before getting started with the installation, take stock of your current setup. What payment methods do you currently accept? Are there saved cards or customer profiles in B1 iPayment? Are there custom workflows tied to your current solution? These questions lay the foundation for a smooth transition.

You’ll want to make a full inventory of your payment processing components – think saved tokens, integration points, automated billing routines, and reporting templates. What do you use most, and what workflows break often or require workarounds? This is your chance to copy what you have and improve it.

Work with your finance team to map out how billing and reconciliation are currently done. Additionally, check with IT for any scripts or customizations tied to B1 iPayment. All of this will give you a better idea of what EBizCharge needs to support on day one.

Make a list of what needs to be replicated – or improved. Pick a migration window that minimizes disruption, ideally during a slow billing cycle. Get your finance and IT teams involved early, so everyone knows what’s coming, what’s changing, and where they need to weigh in.

Setting Up EBizCharge in SAP Business One

EBizCharge integrates directly with SAP B1, so the setup is easy – but that doesn’t mean it should be rushed. Taking the time to set it up correctly will pay off in the long run for usability, security, and consistency.

You’ll start by installing the EBizCharge plugin into your SAP Business One environment. The installer will guide you through the basic steps, but you’ll want to customize it to your internal structure. Begin by setting up user permissions based on department and responsibility. For example, finance users may need full transaction and refund access, while sales or support teams may only need access to payment entry. Admins can control who can view, process, or export sensitive payment data.

Once that’s done, move on to your core configuration settings: payment terms, tax codes, and how your payment processor is mapped into SAP. This is where EBizCharge really shines. You can customize how payments are routed, what conditions trigger specific rules, and how tax is handled across different transaction types. These settings ensure EBizCharge doesn’t just bolt onto your ERP but fits seamlessly into your existing billing workflows.

If you’ve been using Boyum B1 iPayment, this is also the time to clean up any redundancy or outdated mappings you’ve been working around. EBizCharge allows you to start fresh with a clean and organized payment processing environment.

Data Migration and Configuration

If you have credit card data stored in Boyum B1 iPayment, now’s the time to move that data to tokenization (to avoid storing raw card data). This is where EBizCharge comes in handy. EBizCharge makes it easy to handle sensitive data without compromising security or compliance, and their support team can help migrate payment tokens from legacy systems.

Start by working with your previous payment processor or IT admin to export any tokenized data that can be imported into EBizCharge. This step requires coordination and timing, especially if you want to avoid service disruptions. It’s also a good opportunity to review and clean up any inactive or outdated customer profiles that no longer need saved payment methods.

You’ll also want to recreate any existing payment automation or rules. This could include automatic receipts, recurring billing schedules, or payment reminders. Review your current automation logic and see if you can simplify or improve it within EBizCharge’s more flexible framework.

Once everything is in place, run a few test transactions across different scenarios: one-time payments, recurring invoices, refunds, and failed card attempts. Make sure payments post correctly, receipts are triggered, and your reports show real-time activity. Testing will ensure your new payment processing system is solid before you go live.

Training and Adoption

No migration is complete without getting your team up to speed. EBizCharge is easier to use than Boyum B1 iPayment, but it’s still worth dedicating time to training.

Walk through the most common use cases: running a payment, issuing a refund, and applying a payment to an invoice. Update your internal documentation and SOPs. Encourage your team to bring questions forward early—it’s easier to course-correct when you’re still close to the launch date.

EBizCharge also provides resources and support channels to help your team get comfortable with the new system.

Post-Migration Optimization

Once your payment processing system is up and running, it’s time to fine-tune.

Take advantage of EBizCharge’s reporting tools to track performance. Are payments coming in faster? Are failed transactions being flagged more clearly? Are you spending less time reconciling accounts?

You can also automate tasks that may have been manual before, like sending receipts, scheduling recurring payments, or offering self-service payment links.

This is where EBizCharge goes beyond being just a third-party payment processor. It becomes a full-service payment processing solution that supports your team long after migration day.

Moving from Boyum B1 iPayment to EBizCharge isn’t just a software upgrade—it’s a shift in how your team handles payment processing. With better visibility, streamlined workflows, and real-time data syncing, EBizCharge helps you get more from your ERP investment.

Whether you’re aiming for faster collections, fewer manual tasks, or just a more modern payment solution, this migration is a smart next step. And with the right planning, training, and follow-through, you can make the transition smooth for everyone involved.

Take the time to evaluate your current pain points and be intentional about how you implement your new system. When it’s all done, you’ll have a payment processing solution that’s not only more powerful than Boyum B1 iPayment, but one that fits the way you work.
