You can sign up for Zimple using this link.

Select the Zimple integration extension.

(2) Getting Started with a Simple Pay API user

Read through the wizard's set-up instructions carefully. You will need to create an API user in Simple Pay to integrate Simple Pay with Zoho People. This is done in Simple Pay under the User Management Settings, as indicated in the steps below.

Remember to save your API key somewhere safe (we recommend in Zoho Vault) before leaving the page. They will only show this once.

In your User Management Settings (Simple Pay), create an API user as indicated below.

Give this API user FULL access to your Simple Pay company.

(3) Link your Simple Pay with Zoho People

Add your unique API key to the Zimple wizard and submit.

Select the Simple Pay company,

and authorise access for the Zimple extension to Zoho People. 

Make sure pop-ups are enabled! You will be prompted to sign into Zoho People to authorise the access. 

Once you've approved the extension's access, select a folder name for your Simple Pay payslips. 

Review the set-up instructions for Simple Pay and Zoho People before clicking Finish.

(4) Integration Settings

Now that the set-up is complete, we can start matching the data between the two platforms. 

Start with Employees. Match each Simple Pay employee with the corresponding Zoho People employee. Click on "Match" to lock it in. Once all employees have been matched, you can "Submit" the matches at the bottom of the wizard screen. 

Once all Employees have been matched, we can now select our main source for leave balances.
