Zoho Books EFT integration for Canadian businesses
Zefty connects to Zoho Books securely, reads your vendors and unpaid bills, produces the EFT 1464 file for your bank and records every payment back in Zoho Books. You keep working in Zoho Books; Zefty handles the bank file.
What you get from the connection
Vendors with their banking details
Every vendor arrives with the account, transit and institution numbers you already keep in Zoho Books. Nothing is retyped, so wrong payees and transposed digits disappear.
Only unpaid bills, so nothing is paid twice
Bills already paid or voided in Zoho Books never show up in Zefty. What you see is what is still owed, with the balance to date.
Only approved bills, when you want
Point Zefty at the Zoho Books view your approval process already uses and only those bills can be paid. Leave it off and every unpaid bill is available.
Payments recorded against the right bank account
Each payment Zefty records in Zoho Books is applied to the bank account you pay from, so your bank reconciliation stays clean.
How the connection is made
-
Choose your Zoho region
Zoho Books runs in two regions, zoho.com and zohocloud.ca. Pick the one your account uses; our support team can confirm it if you are unsure.
-
Identify your organization
Tell Zefty which Zoho Books organization to connect. If you manage several companies, each one gets its own organization in Zefty.
-
Authorize from your Zoho account
Approve the connection from your Zoho account in a few clicks. Zoho shows you what Zefty is asking for, and your Zoho password stays with Zoho.
-
The first sync runs on its own
As soon as you approve, Zefty imports your vendors and then your unpaid bills. You can follow the progress from your dashboard.
-
You are ready to pay
Your bills are in Zefty with their banking details. Select what to pay, generate the file and upload it to your bank. See the full setup.

Zefty and the Zoho ecosystem
Zefty is built for Zoho Books and uses only Zoho's official, documented interfaces, asking for no more access than it needs. No Zoho extension needs to be installed; you authorize the connection from your own Zoho account and can revoke it at any time. Browse the Zoho Marketplace for other Zoho Books integrations, or write to us if you work with a Zoho partner who should be involved in your setup.
