Overview
Tight communicates directly with Salsa to automatically account for payroll directly in your users’ books, including
automatically reconciling bank withdrawals against the payroll entries in real-time. Salsa Express enables rapid payroll
deployment through embeddable UI components and straightforward APIs, allowing platforms to launch payroll within days.
Automated Reconciliation
In addition to a seamless UX, you and your users can rest assured knowing that the complex accounting that payroll
necessitates is automatically taken care of. When your user runs a payroll, the necessary accounting transactions are
automatically created in the user’s General Ledger. Furthermore, when the bank withdrawals come in several days later,
the Tight API will automatically reconcile those with the payroll run, keeping the user’s General Ledger and balance
sheets in sync, without any manual labor required from your user.
That reconciliation process, when done manually, can be very complex, as a single Salsa payroll run typically includes at
least three bank withdrawals, all of which need to be mapped to different accounts. With the Tight API, this
reconciliation happens automatically, without user input.
See the Monthly Payroll Run Example to understand the
level of complexity that Tight automates.
Get Started
If you haven’t already done so, you should create a developer account with Salsa at salsa.dev.
Once you’re logged into Salsa’s developer portal, you can access your API credentials for both sandbox and production
environments.
Securely share your Salsa keys
You should then copy your API credentials, these can be programmatically provided to
the Configure Salsa API.
For production deployment, repeat these steps using Salsa’s production environment credentials.
