Zoho One Financial Apps: All Your Billing, Payments, and Accounting in One Ecosystem

06.05.25 01:52 PM

The financial category of Zoho One is one of the most powerful and integrated sections of the platform — and yet many businesses only use a piece of it.

In this series, I’m breaking down all the apps you already have access to with your Zoho One subscription, including those you may not even realize are included. Today we’re focusing on tools for accounting, invoicing, billing, payments, expenses, and inventory.

If you’ve been using Books or Invoice but didn’t know where tools like Billing, Checkout, or Commerce fit in — this is your guide.

Watch a Breakdown of Zoho One's Financial Apps

Zoho One Financial Apps: What’s Included and What They Do

1. Zoho Books

This is the central hub of your financial operations in Zoho. Every financial transaction — from invoices to payroll to inventory movement — ultimately connects back to Zoho Books.


It gives you:

  • Full accounting capabilities (income, expenses, AR/AP)
  • Tax calculation and filing support
  • Bank feeds and reconciliations
  • Financial reporting and dashboards
  • Deep integrations with CRM, Inventory, Billing, and more


If you’re going to build your back office in Zoho, Books is where it starts.


2. Zoho Invoice
Though it’s part of Zoho Books in Zoho One, it’s worth calling out on its own.


With Zoho Invoice, you can:

  • Create and send invoices based on time, expenses, or product sales
  • Set up automated payment reminders and recurring billing
  • Offer customer portals with built-in payment gateways
  • Convert quotes into invoices seamlessly

It’s fast, customizable, and makes you look professional — all while getting paid faster.


3. Zoho Checkout
Need a way to collect one-time or recurring payments without building a full shopping cart system?


Zoho Checkout lets you:

  • Create custom-branded payment pages
  • Accept credit card payments with Stripe, PayPal, and more
  • Offer both subscription and one-time purchase options
  • Embed payment links into websites, emails, or buttons

Great for events, coaching packages, digital downloads, or donations.


4. Zoho Billing
If your billing model is more complex — think subscriptions with trial periods, coupons, or proration — Zoho Billing is the right tool.


Use it to:

  • Manage recurring billing models
  • Automate invoices, trials, and discount offers
  • Offer customers a self-service portal to manage their subscription
  • Integrate with CRM or Commerce to manage everything from one place

Perfect for SaaS companies, online programs, or any business with layered billing requirements.


5. Zoho Inventory
For businesses that sell physical products, Zoho Inventory keeps everything in sync across your channels.


Use it to:

  • Track product inventory levels
  • Manage orders and shipments
  • Handle packing, shipping, and delivery notifications
  • Set reorder levels and manage multiple warehouses
  • Sync with Zoho Commerce, Books, and CRM

Whether you sell through your own store or marketplaces, this tool keeps stock accurate and processes smooth.


6. Zoho Commerce
Want to build and run an online store without using a third-party ecommerce platform?


Zoho Commerce lets you:

  • Create a full ecommerce website
  • Accept online payments
  • Track and manage inventory
  • Handle shipping and logistics
  • Run marketing campaigns and analyze store performance

It connects directly to Zoho Books, Inventory, CRM, and Campaigns — meaning your store becomes part of your system, not a separate silo.


7. Zoho Expense
Track employee spending — whether they’re swiping a company card or filing for reimbursement.


With Zoho Expense, you can:

  • Manage travel approvals and expense policies
  • Capture receipts and match them to transactions
  • Automate reimbursement approvals

  • Sync data with Books and Payroll (where supported)

This is essential for finance teams that want visibility and control over employee spending.

Why It Matters

Every one of these tools integrates with the others. And when you use them together, you reduce manual entry, simplify approvals, and see your full financial picture in real time.

If you’re currently using multiple disconnected tools for accounting, billing, or inventory — there’s a good chance you’re duplicating effort or missing out on automation.

Bottom Line

The financial tools in Zoho One give you everything you need to manage your money, your team’s expenses, and your customers’ payments — in one connected ecosystem.

If you’re not yet using apps like Billing, Checkout, or Commerce, now is a great time to explore them.
