Integrate Zoho Books using Universal CSV

Online accounting tool Zoho Books allows you to collaborate across departments while managing your money and automating business processes. Zoho Books takes care of tedious accounting procedures so you can concentrate on your business, from contract negotiations to sales order creation to invoicing.

Firstly you will need to create a bank account in your Zoho books software named VOLOBANK-SGD and share the name of the account with us.

Exporting transactions from Volopay

You can export from the accounting table: Accounting table>Pending to export>Export CTA.

You can bulk select or select transactions individually, and after clicking export, a small window will pop up. In the modal popup there will be three options; to export and download.

Once you select “Export as Zohobooksl format”it will go to the “downloads' ' tab. There, upon opening you will see your exported file in the Jurnal format with the “status” ready. Again when you select download as csv or pdf it will direct you to the downloads tab and you will find the downloaded file with the “status” ready.

Importing into Zoho Books

After exporting the transactions from Volopay, you will have to follow these steps for importing the files in Zoho Books.
