Sammy:
You're not alone in your disappointment with the strategy about Platinum.
There are inexpensive products that will send a batch the Adagio GL. Easypay and Paymate Acclaim are 2 examples.
However, as a Platinum user, you likely have some advanced requirements. In that case the easy recommendation is PayDirt from QLab Systems
PayDirt web-site. Both the software itself and the support from the developer are top-notch. While it works with other accounting packages, it was originally designed to integrate deeply with Adagio. There are 4 YouTube videos available so you can see how logical it is to use.
I've never met anyone with a negative comment about PayDirt. I suggest speaking with your dealer to find out specifics.
