Zoho Extensions & Integration Development
Zoho connects to a lot out of the box, but not everything. A regional payment gateway, an industry-specific tool, an internal ERP nobody is replacing soon: if it has an API, we can usually build the bridge, and package it as an extension that sits inside the Zoho screens your team already uses.

Short answer
A Zoho extension is an add-on that adds features to a Zoho app: a widget inside a Zoho CRM record, custom buttons, connectors to outside systems and settings, packaged so it can be installed and updated as one unit. Extensions can be private to your company or published on Zoho Marketplace. Flowpeak scopes, builds, tests in a sandbox and deploys them, at a fixed price agreed after a free call.
This is for you if...
You need Zoho to talk to a system it does not natively integrate with
Your team switches between Zoho and another tool to look up the same information
The same customisation is needed across several Zoho accounts or branches
You want to build and publish a reusable extension on Zoho Marketplace
What's included
What you receive
An extension you can install, update and hand to another admin.
How a Zoho extension is built
Time depends mostly on the other system and its API, so we confirm it in the written scope.
Need a ready-made connection instead? Many common Zoho integrations have a fixed, published price.
What you get at the end
Two systems that talk to each other automatically, inside the Zoho screens your team already uses: no more manual re-entry, and no data drifting out of sync.
What a Zoho extension costs
Extensions are quoted as one fixed price after a free call, based on the other system, the screens and the number of actions. Many common connections are already on the integrations price list.
Updates after Zoho or the other system changes its API can be covered by Zoho support hours or managed services.
Extension, integration or custom app?
| Option | What it is | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Integration | Data moves between Zoho and another system in the background | You only need data in sync |
| Extension | An installable add-on with its own screens, buttons and settings | People need to see or act on outside data inside Zoho, or it must be reused |
| Custom app | A separate Zoho Creator app for a whole process | The process needs its own forms, rules and reports |
Private extension or Zoho Marketplace?
| Private extension | Marketplace listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can install it | Only your Zoho account or the accounts you choose | Any Zoho customer |
| Review by Zoho | Not needed | Reviewed by Zoho before listing |
| Best for | Your own processes and systems | Software companies offering a Zoho add-on |
