Since 2008, we've been helping businesses streamline their billing. While online payments options have mushroomed, many small businesses have avoided it due to a complicated setup process and steep pricing.
We are big believers in helping you get paid faster through online payments. As a first step towards this, Zoho has partnered with WePay, an online payment processor. Creating your merchant account with WePay is like registering for a new email account - absolutely effortless.
If you use Zoho Books, Zoho Invoice, Zoho Subscriptions, or Zoho Inventory, you can get started right away. It takes just five minutes to start accepting payments from your customers. You don't have to worry about filling out long forms or waiting for days to have your merchant account activated. More importantly, as a benefit of this partnership, you can enjoy some of the lowest transaction fees in the industry.
Here's how the integration will benefit you:
Start accepting payments instantly
If your business is registered in the USA, just enter your business details and bank information, and you're ready to go. Once your account is ready, you can immediately charge your customer's Visa, Mastercard, or Amex cards.
Lowest transaction fees
With WePay, there are no setup or monthly fees involved! You will only be charged a flat rate of 2.75%+30 cents per transaction for all card payments including Amex.
Get all your answers in one place
We will be your main point of contact. Any questions on invoicing, chargeback, refunds, discounts – you reach out to us. We will not redirect you to a different payment service. You can email us at support[at]zohofinance[dot]com and our wonderful support team will help you out with all your questions and concerns.
Improved cash flow
The amount your customers pay you will be put in your merchant account, which will be processed daily for settlement. After the payment is processed, it will get deposited in your bank account in 2-5 working days.
Automated accounting
You can track customer payments, transaction fees, and refunds, as well as chargebacks separately in a clearing account in Zoho Books. If you set up Rules, accounting for these transactions will be, well .. automatic.
How do I begin?
Login to your Zoho service and head to the 'Integrations' section in Settings. You'll find WePay listed among the other Online Payment Gateways . Click on 'Create your WePay account' to kickstart the process.
We've added a nifty status tracker on your Dashboard, so you can always check the status of your setup.
Once the status changes to 'Configured' (as shown below), you will start receiving money directly in your bank account.
If you're eager to get started, go ahead and read more about the integration in the respective product's help document - Zoho Books, Zoho Invoice, Zoho Subscriptions and Zoho Inventory.
We've put in quite a bit of effort to make the entire process seamless for you. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think.
Update as on 01st January 2019

Any plans to accept Bitcoin? Credit card %'s are ridiculous - I'm not paying $55 for a $2000 invoice.
Hi Dave, Sorry. No plans on Bitcoin just yet.
For India
Hi, I am having trouble uploading an excel file, I have made sure it is less than 256 columns but it keeps telling me that it must be less than 256 columns, any help would be appreciated. john
Hi John, Sorry, can you elaborate a bit more on the issue? Is it related to the WePay integration?
What are the plans for Canada with this integration? I just upgraded to zInventory with zBooks.
Hi Ken, We do have plans on taking the integration ahead and expanding it to our Canadian customers. We'll keep you posted on any updates regarding this. Regards, Reshma
We already use Paypal and it's working great. Is there a way to remove the WePay selection (seems to recently appear by default) if we are not interested in using it?
I'd I am.set up with my American bank and business, could I accept payments from cards in other countries?
Hi Melissa, If you are in the US, you can accept international credit cards. Read more here: If you're in the US (and you have a social security number and US billing address), you can also accept international credit cards. WePay accepts all Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express cards. Users within the US must use a US bank account or request a check be sent to their registered address within the US. Canadian users must connect a Canadian bank account to withdraw their funds.
Is the transaction fee actually a batch fee? My merchant account charges a batch fee rather than transaction fee so I can bundle most payments into two batches a month.
Hi Suzi, With WePay, the charges are per transaction. Regards, Reshma
What determines the time frame of the merchant account transfer of funds to your bank account? 2-5 days is quite a wide time frame now-a-days in the world of online payment processing I feel.
Hi Jennifer, I'm quoting from WePay's website. "We use the ACH system to withdraw payments from the merchant's WePay account to their bank account. ACH transfers take 2-5 business days depending on the bank account receiving the payment. Some bank accounts (such as Wells Fargo) are faster and take only 1 business day. However, some bank accounts (such as small credit unions) may take much longer." You can find more information here.
What about ach?
Hi Robert, ACH feature with WePay is currently not available. However, you can use ACH with Authorize.Net or Forte. This is available in Zoho Books, Zoho Invoice, Zoho Inventory and Zoho Subscriptions. Take a look at this help document. -Reshma
