Choose Your Integration Path
Benbase supports two integration paths depending on whether your payroll engine is directly supported.
Choose Your Integration Path
Benbase can be integrated into your payroll platform in two ways, depending on whether your payroll engine is directly supported by Benbase.
Terminology: Throughout these guides, "you" / "partner" refers to the payroll provider integrating Benbase. "Employer" refers to your customer — the company whose employees will receive benefits.

Payroll Engine Integration
Your payroll engine is supported. Census and deductions sync automatically — you just render the flows and connect your payroll engine.
| Step | What You Do |
|---|---|
| 1. Embed Employer Flow | Embed the employer iframe in your platform |
| 2. Connect Payroll | Handle payroll engine OAuth |
| 3. Embed Employee Flow | Embed the employee iframe |
| Done | Census, quoting, and deductions are automatic |
→ Start Payroll Engine Integration
API Integration
Your payroll engine is not yet supported. You provide census data via API and handle deduction syncing via webhooks.
| Step | What You Do |
|---|---|
| 1. Embed Employer Flow | Embed the employer iframe |
| 2. Connect API | Set up webhooks, respond to census requests |
| 3. Sync Data | Handle deduction webhooks + employment changes |
| 4. Embed Employee Flow | Embed the employee iframe |
