1. Connect to Zettle
To activate your Zettle integration, you'll need to give Combidesk one-time access to your Zettle account. This is done through a secure OAuth authorization — you won't need to share your password with Combidesk directly.
What you'll need
An active Zettle account
Your Zettle login credentials (email address and password)
Owner or admin rights within Zettle
Connecting Zettle — step by step
Follow these steps when installing your Zettle integration on Combidesk:
Start the installation of your Zettle integration via combidesk.com.
Click Connect with Zettle — you'll be redirected to the Zettle login page.
Sign in with your Zettle account. Use the email address and password of the account you want to connect.
Grant permission. Zettle will ask you to confirm that Combidesk may access your data. Click Authorize or Allow.
You'll be automatically redirected back to Combidesk and the connection will be active. You can now continue with the setup of your integration.
Multiple locations or accounts?
If you have multiple Zettle accounts (for example, one per location), you'll need to install a separate integration for each account within Combidesk. Make sure to sign in with the correct account during step 3.
2. Connect to AFAS
Before you begin, make sure you have access to the following:
An active AFAS subscription with access to the AppConnector
The subdomain of your AFAS environment (the part before .afas.online)
An XML token generated via the AppConnector in AFAS
Haven't set up the AppConnector yet? Do this first in AFAS via Management → AppConnector. Make sure that at least one connector has been added to your AppConnector and copy the XML token — this is only shown once by AFAS.
Step by step: connecting your AFAS account
Step 1: Open the connection screen
Go to the installation page of the integration and click "Connect your AFAS account". A screen will appear as shown below.
Step 2: Enter your subdomain
In the Subdomain field, enter the first part of your AFAS URL. The full URL has the following format:
Only enter the part that comes before .afas.online.
Step 3: Paste the XML token
In the Token field, paste the full XML token that you copied from the AppConnector in AFAS. The token looks like this:
<token><version>1</version><data>...</data></token>
Please note: AFAS only shows this token once. If you no longer have it, you will need to create a new token in the AppConnector.
Step 4: Test or acceptance environment (optional)
Do you want to connect to a test or acceptance environment? Check the corresponding option:
Connect to a test environment
Connect to an acceptance environment
Leave these options unchecked if you want to connect to your production environment.
Step 5: Save
Click "Save" to confirm the connection. If everything is correct, your AFAS account is now successfully connected.
3. Configuration of the integration
For the integration to work properly, it must be configured correctly. In the paragraph below, we'll go through all the steps of the integration in sequence. Before starting the installation, we recommend that you first carefully read through these steps.

4. The Combidesk customer dashboard
How does the dashboard work?
If you've created a new Combidesk account or installed a integration, you'll receive an email with access to your Combidesk account. When you log in to combidesk.com, you'll arrive at the dashboard. This is where your integration is located. From here, you can easily adjust your integration and account settings, view the integration logs (history), and access support.
What can you view via your Combidesk account?
From your Combidesk dashboard you also have access to your account settings, connected accounts, billing and support.
