## How It Works

A typical integration follows this flow:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Onboard the business">
    Complete [KYB verification](/platform/kyb-requirements) before the business can process payments.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add workers">
    Create a **Person** (HR record) for each employee or contractor, then create a **User** (Cadana account) so they can receive payments.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete KYC">
    Workers complete identity verification before they can receive funds. In sandbox, KYC is auto-approved. [KYC Verification](/platform/kyc-verification).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run payroll">
    Create a payroll, add compensation entries, and approve. Cadana handles FX, disbursement, and status tracking automatically. [Payroll Lifecycle](/workforce/payroll-lifecycle).
  </Step>
</Steps>
