What is Zoho?
Zoho offers a broad range of software products to help businesses transform the way they work – from simple accounting and invoicing software, to a host of workplace and marketing tools.
What is Yoco?
Yoco is a payments platform that provides powerful solutions for starting, running and growing a business: from the most affordable to the smartest card machines in South Africa; online payments products built for getting (any type of business) paid, with or without a website; or Yoco Capital, risk-free access to small business funding for Yoco customers.
How does the Zoho & Yoco integration work?
Part of Zoho’s offering is a financial platform called Zoho Books. Zoho Books clients can now get paid online using Yoco, in just a few simple steps. Your customers simply click a button to make a card payment, as soon as they receive their invoice – no more waiting for EFT notifications, or having to cross-check invoices and payments in different places! With Yoco, Zoho clients can now get paid (much faster!) in South Africa, with zero admin or hassle. Just add Yoco and send your invoices as per usual, we take care of the rest!

3. When your customers click on the “Pay Now” button, they’ll be directed to proceed to the secure Yoco payment gateway.

How much will it cost?
At Yoco, you only pay a small percentage of each transaction – that means no monthly fees, contracts or rent. Our fees start at 2.95% (ex VAT) for all domestic online payments or 3.4% (ex VAT) for international online transactions, and you only pay this fee when you get paid! Plus, the more you transact with Yoco, the more your fees will be lowered (and they’ll never get raised again) – check out how it works here.
