Does it support multi-organisation Books setups?

Yes, map one WappBlaster company to one Zoho Books organisation. Groups with multiple legal entities run multiple instances.

Link to this answer
Does it work with Zoho Books UAE edition?

Yes. UAE WPS disbursal entries, end-of-service gratuity provisions and AED multi-currency all flow into the UAE Books edition.

Link to this answer
Will it conflict with my existing Zoho Payroll setup?

No. If you migrate from Zoho Payroll, that subscription becomes redundant, WappBlaster replaces it. Existing Zoho Books data is preserved.

Link to this answer
Multi-state Indian PT?

Yes. Per-state PT liabilities post to per-state ledger heads in your Books chart of accounts.

Link to this answer
What about input GST on payroll-side expenses?

GST on vendor payments to PF / ESI authorities is generally not input-eligible; the integration tags appropriately. Expense-side GST follows standard input credit rules.

Is the integration free?

Yes, included in the WappBlaster plan. No additional fee, no per-API-call charge.
