The best payroll API — OnPay makes more possible

Getting Started

Welcome to OnPay’s payroll API Partner Requirements documentation! Our API enables powerful integrations to our software, simplifying payroll, HR, and benefits for small businesses, accountants, and bookkeepers.

If you are interested in becoming an integration partner, please reach out to developersupport@onpay.com. Also, be sure to check out our API documentation at docs.onpay.com

Integration Requirements

Potential API Partners will first be issued credentials to one of our test environments. After you’ve built your integration, you can submit your application for review.

To ensure optimal performance and security, make sure your application meets the following criteria before submitting for review:

Connection

Connection requirements detail how your connection with OnPay is created and maintained.

Once connected using OAuth2.0, the connection is maintained until the user chooses to disconnect (signing out of the app does not disconnect).
The refresh token is used to retrieve a new access token on expiration. Users should not have to re-authenticate once the access token expires.
The user has the ability to disconnect your from OnPay within your app.

Data

Data requirements specify how your app should use OnPay API calls. More information around your data calls will be required in Documentation.

Read data from OnPay appears appropriately in-app.
Write data to OnPay appears successfully in OnPay.
Version control is leveraged to ensure data is the most up-to-date.

Branding

Integrations are a great way to enhance a user’s experience and give them the power to do more. We want you to be able to share information about OnPay with your audience, so we’ve put together a few guidelines on how to use our name and logos.

You can refer to OnPay products and services with our associated name and logos, so long as such references are truthful, fair, not misleading, and properly represent our brand.

Name

Our company has a rich history, with over 30 years of payroll experience. With that, our brand name has evolved from Payroll Center to OnPay.

Our product and company should be referred to only as “OnPay”.

Logo

Approved OnPay logos can be downloaded here.

With the exception of resizing as appropriate, do not alter the logos in any way when using it in your application. Please preserve the integrity of the OnPay logo by maintaining some clear space between the logo and any other visual elements.
