Integrate Paylocity Into Your Product Without an API
The Integration Barrier
Paylocity has an API, but integrating with it requires applying to become a Paylocity integration partner and having a developer build and maintain the connection. For products serving mid-market businesses running on Paylocity, the time between "we need this integration" and "it’s live" is measured in months rather than days. Deck closes that gap. It pulls structured Paylocity data for your product without any partner application or developer investment.

FAQ
Does Paylocity have a public API?
Yes, through a partner program — but getting in requires a formal application and approval process. Deck gets you to the data without waiting for that.
What Paylocity data can Deck extract?
Pay stubs, payroll summaries, W-2s and 1099s, employee HR records, time and attendance data, and benefits enrollment details.
Can Deck pull Paylocity data for multiple employer accounts?
Yes. Deck runs a separate authenticated session per account. Your product sends one request per account to a single Deck endpoint.
How does Deck handle Paylocity’s MFA?
Deck Vault manages the full login sequence — multi-factor challenges included — so sessions run without any manual input.
How quickly can I start pulling Paylocity data with Deck?
About 15 minutes. Connect the account, define what you need, and you’re pulling structured data. No partner application, no waiting, no developer sprint.
