Certified = listed on the ERP vendor's official marketplace. Prebuilt = productised vendor-built connector. iPaaS = official integration-platform template.

What is a Payroll add-on for ERP?
A Payroll add-on is third-party software that extends your ERP with dedicated payroll capabilities. Local and global payroll engines and ERP payroll add-ons. Rather than building this functionality with custom development, you integrate a purpose-built product that connects to your ERP's data.
Why use a Payroll add-on instead of native ERP functionality?
Native ERP modules often cover the basics but lack the depth specialist teams need. A dedicated payroll add-on typically offers richer features, faster time-to-value, and ongoing vendor investment focused on that single problem — while still reading from and writing back to your ERP as the system of record.
Does a Payroll add-on work with my ERP?
Most established payroll vendors offer certified integrations for the major ERP platforms (buyers commonly search for things like "payroll for NetSuite"). Always confirm support for your specific ERP product and version before shortlisting.
How do I choose the right Payroll add-on?
