If you are running a third-party application using the Web API Interface, you must also install MicrOpay Client Service (MCS).
You can download the latest version of MCS from the Access MicrOpay Product Downloads page. Once you have downloaded the file to the MicrOpay server:
Right-click on the zip file and select Properties.
Tick Unblock under Security.
Unzip the file to the desktop.
Double-click on the .mis file to install. (As it is an .msi file, ‘Run as Admin’ is not required)
Follow the prompts to install.
Once installed, open SQL Management Studio and define/create an account to use with the service. The account needs ‘db_owner’ to both the payroll and common databases. You can use SQL accounts over AD at this stage.
Use the Start/Windows button and find/open Micropay Client Configuration (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Micropay Client Service\Config).
Click Stop Service, it automatically starts as part of the install.
Select Add on the right-hand side and fill in the appropriate details:
