Seems like API wasn't the hard part of adding payroll
So we started looking at payroll as an integration problem. Get the employee data in the right place, calculate payroll, move the money and ship it
The moment we got further into it, the API itself felt like the smaller part of the decision. The questions were around tax filings and corrections and who owns those problems after the product is live
That pushed me toward looking at companies that handle more than the API layer. Rollfi was one that came up during that search because I read that they cover the payroll operations and compliance side too, which is closer to what I was trying to solve.
Still working through where that line should be. For anyone who's built payroll into a fintech product, can I ask what part created the most work after the initial integration? Any input is more than welcome!
