Toku integrates with Gusto through the Gusto API, connecting to your existing Gusto company with OAuth and granular, least-privilege scopes. Gusto remains your payroll system of record — Toku handles the digital-asset side.

​
How It Works

1. Connect

Authorize Toku’s Gusto connection for your company with a standard OAuth flow — no credentials to copy around.

2. Sync

Toku syncs your employee roster, pay schedules, and payrolls from Gusto automatically.

3. Elect

Employees choose what portion of their pay they’d like to receive in stablecoins.

4. Deduct & Deliver

Each pay period, a single Toku deduction is applied to the employee’s pay in Gusto and Toku delivers the corresponding stablecoin payment on-chain.

​
The Toku Deduction

Stablecoin payments appear in Gusto as one dedicated deduction line item on the employee’s pay. Toku calculates the amount for each employee every pay period based on their election and applies it through Gusto’s employee-deduction APIs — no manual data entry, and no changes to your gross pay, taxes, or existing pay items. The deduction is configured once during implementation. Toku’s team provides the exact Gusto configuration as part of onboarding.

​
What You’ll Need

  • Admin access to your Gusto company
  • Admin access to your Toku account
  • A short implementation session with the Toku team

Toku validates the connection, previews your employee roster, and begins syncing pay schedules and payrolls.
Detailed configuration guides are provided to customers during implementation. Contact the Toku team to get started.

​
Each Pay Period

Once connected, the integration runs on autopilot:
  1. Toku syncs upcoming pay periods and employee changes from Gusto.
  2. Toku calculates each employee’s stablecoin amount and applies the Toku deduction.
  3. You run payroll in Gusto exactly as you do today.
  4. Toku delivers the stablecoin payments on-chain and provides full reporting and reconciliation.

​
Data & Security

  • Employee and payroll data syncs from Gusto to Toku on a read-only basis.
  • Deduction data is the only information Toku writes back to Gusto.
  • Access uses OAuth with granular scopes — you can revoke it at any time from Gusto, and all tokens are encrypted at rest.
