Pastel is accounting software widely used in South Africa, now part of Sage.
We could not read a contact number from the organisation’s own site, so none is published here. Its site works normally in a browser but does not serve its contact details as readable text.
Your accounting data is your business’s record, and you are responsible for keeping it under the Companies Act and the Tax Administration Act. Records must generally be retained for five years.
This page covers how to contact Pastel Online in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Pastel Online contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not Pastel Online and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.
Pastel Online contact numbers
We could not verify a contact number for Pastel Online. Its website at sage.com blocks automated access, so we could not read its contact page when we checked on 24 August 2026. The site works normally in a browser.
We have deliberately not published a number here. An unverified number is worse than none: it sends people to whoever happens to answer it, which is exactly the mechanism behind contact-detail scams.
Self-service options before you call
- Check the official site at sage.com, which carries the current contact details and any online enquiry form.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Money, goods and phone contact with an offender
- Deposits go through the centre’s own channels only. Handing money to anyone else, inside or outside, is not a deposit and there is no record of it.
- Taking items in outside the process is an offence for the visitor, not only for the offender, and it is the commonest way a family member ends up charged.
- Cellphones are contraband. Possession inside is an offence, and calls from a smuggled phone asking a family for money are a known scam.
- Nobody can buy a transfer, a visit or a release. Those are administrative and judicial decisions, and anyone offering to arrange one for a fee is defrauding you.
- Keep receipts for every deposit. Disputes about an offender’s account are resolved on the centre’s records and yours.
If someone phones claiming to be an official and asking for money to help a detained relative, end the call and phone the correctional centre on its published route. That call is one of the most common frauds run against families.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the company’s own published enquiry route. A listed company’s shareholder and governance matters go through the company secretary named in its annual report, and an ethics concern goes to the independently operated hotline the company publishes for that purpose.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most corporate complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Pastel Online contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Pastel Online.
- Reach Pastel Online through the official site at sage.com rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Pastel Online will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Pastel Online contact number?
We do not publish one, because we could not confirm a number on an official source. Numbers do circulate on directory sites, and we do not republish those.
How do I know a Pastel Online number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at sage.com. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Pastel Online, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
