2. Click on Sign In in the upper right corner and log in using your username and password.

3. Return to the landing page at developers.paycor.com and select Join. The button may show Sign Up like below.

Enter information in the linking flow

1. Back in the linking flow, select either Paycor Sandbox or Paycor Production Account, depending on the URL that you use to log into the Paycor instance.

2. Next, enter the Company ID you found previously.

3. On the next screen, click Open window.

4. A Paycor window will pop up. Log in using your Paycor username and password if you are not already

5. Review the requested access and click Next.

9. After this, you'll be redirected back to the linking flow while we finalize the connection with Paycor.

Note: Paycor currently does not allow multiple company IDs in a single connection. Instead, you will need to create a connection for each company ID you want to integrate with. If you do, you may need to contact your integrator for assistance.
