Guide to Integration with EaseMyGST
Integrating with EaseMyGST can significantly streamline your tax management process, saving time and resources for your business. Let's delve into the ways you can seamlessly integrate with EaseMyGST.
Understanding EaseMyGST
Before diving into integration, it's crucial to understand what EaseMyGST offers. EaseMyGST is a cloud-based platform designed to automate GST compliance for businesses of all sizes. It provides features such as GST return filing, reconciliation, invoice management, and compliance monitoring. Moreover, it offers real-time updates on GST law changes, ensuring businesses stay compliant.
API Integration
EaseMyGST offers robust APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow seamless integration with various business record-keeping systems such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), accounting software, and e-commerce platforms. API integration enables data synchronisation between your existing systems and EaseMyGST, automating tasks such as invoice generation, tax calculation, and return filing.
API integration needs to be taken up by a development team that is properly trained to work with 3rd party APIs. A sandbox to test the integration will be provided. API documentation will be given as well. This kind of integration is very secure, automated and less prone to errors but takes time to develop and test and is also easily broken if there is any change in API.
Steps for API Integration:-
1. Register for EaseMyGST API Access: Begin by registering your business on EaseMyGST's portal to gain access to their APIs. Upon registration, you may connect with support@easemygst.in
to get access to API as per your requirement.
2. Assess Integration Requirements: Evaluate your business requirements and identify which functionalities of EaseMyGST you want to integrate. Whether it's invoice management, return filing, or compliance monitoring, understanding your needs is crucial for a successful integration.
3. Develop Integration Code: Utilize the provided documentation and sample code to develop integration modules compatible with your existing systems. Ensure that the integration code adheres to best practices and security standards to protect sensitive financial data. EasemyGST Integration team will guide you through functional knowledge of GST or E-Invoice which will help you achieve your aims quickly.
4. Test Integration: Before deploying the integration in a production environment, conduct thorough testing to identify and rectify any bugs or compatibility issues. Ensure that data is accurately synchronised between your systems and EaseMyGST. For testing EasemyGST will give you a Postman collection, all JSON, sandbox account, client ID, and secret IDs for testing.
5. Deploy Integration: Once testing is successful, deploy the integration modules in your production environment. Monitor the integration closely during the initial phase to ensure seamless operation.
Pre-built Ready Integration / Connectors
In addition to API integration, EaseMyGST offers direct ready-to-use integration with popular accounting and ERP software such as Tally, Ginesys , Microsoft and SAP. Direct integration connectors eliminate the need for custom development and allows businesses to leverage EaseMyGST's features directly within their existing software interface.
Steps for Direct Integration:
1. Check Compatibility: Verify if your accounting or ERP software supports direct integration with EaseMyGST. Most leading software providers offer plugins or extensions for seamless integration.
2. Install Integration Plugin: If available, install the EaseMyGST integration plugin or extension provided by your software provider. Follow the installation instructions provided by the software vendor. EaseMyGST Plugin is already available in Ginesys ERP for use of GST sales & purchase data, E-Way Bill & E-Invoice Generation & Cancellation. Connector plugin for Ginesys POS is available to generate the E-Invoice from POS.
3. Configure Integration Settings: Configure integration settings within your accounting or ERP software to establish a connection with EaseMyGST. Provide necessary authentication credentials and permissions to enable data exchange.
4. Sync Data: Once configured, initiate data synchronisation to transfer relevant financial data such as invoices, purchase orders, and tax calculations between your software and EaseMyGST.
5. Monitor Integration: Regularly monitor the integration to ensure data accuracy and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Keep abreast of updates from both EaseMyGST and your software provider to maintain compatibility.
Excel Integration or Excel Upload
1. Excel Integration: We work well with Excel imports so that the user can upload the data in Excel sheet directly in software. This helps for cases where data is very low and there is no justification to take up API or direct integration. It is also useful when time is very short, API is not working properly or API go live is yet to happen.
2. Excel Upload: We have various pre-set Excel input formats in the EaseMyGST user interface. Users can use these set formats and quickly start working on his requirements.
