Calsavers Integration

[Jonathan_Kim]

Hi square team, please integrate with calsavers. All of your merchant customers in california are forced to manually upload Roth IRA payroll deductions to calsavers every pay period. It's making me look into moving on from Square to other payroll providers that can automatically integrate

To the square community, I have a Roth IRA deduction set up, but please let me know if there is any app that automatically uploads the contribution amount to calsavers for me as an employer.

Hi @Jonathan_Kim, thank you for your post!

I definitely understand your interest in getting Calsavers integrated with Square. I took a look around our resources and did not see anything pertaining to a timeline on this integration occurring, unfortunately.

In regard to your inquiry to the Square Community, I am actually going to tag in a couple of our amazing Square Champions in case they know of any helpful recommendations in this scenario. @TheRealChipA and @mitin, do you all know of any apps that could be helpful?

My other thought is possibly reaching out to Calsavers support, and they may be able to provide some information or suggestions, as well. 

Please let me know if you end up having any other questions, and will be here to help if you do.

Hi @Jonathan_Kim @Sammie_C 

This is a tough integration from what I can see. This largely depends on the payroll and benefits software you're currently using—are you using Square Payroll for your team?

Because CalSavers is a state-run program, integrations are notoriously difficult. It appears that only the "big" payroll players like ADP, Paylocity, or Paycom have built-in API connections for it.

I did some digging, and here is the current situation for Square users:

• No Direct Integration: Square does not currently have an automated "sync" with CalSavers. You have to manually upload your

• Third-Party Limits: Even tools like Zapier don't have a direct bridge to CalSavers yet, likely due to the strict security requirements surrounding government-run financial and personal data.

I realize this isn’t the seamless answer you were hoping for. I’m a huge advocate for automation, but government systems are often very restricted when it comes to outside integrations.
