SET UP YOUR ZOHO BOOKS INTEGRATION
Step-By-Step Guide To Connect Your IN2 Account With Zoho Books. Provide API Credentials, Set Sync Preferences, Enable Tax Settings, And Streamline Your Accounting
Let’s get your Zoho Books connected so your transactions and reports flow smoothly into your accounting system. Here’s what we need to make it happen:
Step 1: Provide Zoho API Credentials
Go to https://api-console.zoho.com
Create a Server-based Application using these details:
- Homepage URL: https://joinin2.com
- Redirect URL: https://app.joinin2.com/html/zoho
Once created, send us:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
Step 2: Share Your Zoho Organization ID
Open your Zoho Books account and grab your Organization ID.
You’ll find it under your account settings or URL — send that over to us.
Step 3: Choose Your Sync Start Date
Let us know when you'd like to start syncing your data to Zoho:
- From your first transaction on in2
- Or from today onward
Step 4: Add the Payment Number Custom Field
To ensure clean tracking, create a new field in Zoho Books:
Go to Settings → Payments Received → New Custom Field
Add:
- Name: payment_number
- Type: Text Box (Single Line)
Step 5: ZATCA E-invoicing Setup (Saudi Clients Only)
If you're based in Saudi Arabia:
- Confirm whether ZATCA e-invoicing is enabled in Zoho Books
➡️ Check under Taxes & Compliance → E-invoicing
Let us know how you’d like to handle membership deletions with invoices:
- Don’t allow deletion
- Allow deletion + auto-create credit note (Recommended)
- *Manually update expiry + create credit note manually
Step 6: Discount & Tax Preferences
- Tax Settings
- Confirm if your Zoho Books account has VAT enabled
- Share your applicable tax start date (e.g., 01/01/2022)
- Discount Behavior (Saudi Clients Only)
Let us know which of these you'd like:
- Show item prices without discount (discount won’t show on invoice)
- Show discount as a separate negative line item (Recommended – requires accounting approval)
Step 7: Confirm Place of Supply
Let us know your Place of Supply as required by Zoho.
Example: If you're in Saudi Arabia, select SA.
