## Add-Ons

As your business grows, you may need additional features or employee units. Zoho Payroll offers add-ons to scale with your needs.

### Employee Add-Ons

Let’s say your current subscription allows you to add up to 10 employees to your organization. However, you want to add more than 5 employees. Then, you can purchase the required number of employee units as an add-on. Here’s how:

1.  Go to **Settings** and click **Subscriptions**. You’ll be redirected to the Zoho Store.
2.  Click **Upgrade Add-Ons**.
3.  Select the required number of additional employee units and click **Proceed**. You’ll be redirected to the _Confirm Order_ section.
4.  Verify your order details and the payment method.

**Insight:** You can update the payment method if required. [Learn how](/us/payroll/help/employer/subscriptions/billing-address-and-payment-method.html#update-payment-method).

5.  Click **Make Payment**.

Once the payment is processed, the additional employee units will be added to your Zoho Payroll organization.

### 1-Day Processing Speed Add-On

Processing speed determines how quickly funds move from your business bank account to your employees’ accounts.

The **1-Day Processing Speed Add-On** allows you to approve payrolls up to **1 business day** before the pay date.

**Note:** Eligibility to purchase this add-on depends on your organization’s payroll history and successful bank verification. Once eligible, you can purchase the add-on.

This add-on is employee-specific. For example, if you have 10 employees and only 4 are paid via Direct Deposit, you can purchase 4 add-ons.

To purchase the 1-day processing speed add-on:

1.  Go to **Settings** and click **Direct Deposit**.
2.  Click **Buy Add-On**.
3.  In the popup, enter your payment details and click **Make Payment**.

Once the payment is processed, the 1-day processing speed add-on will be activated for your organization.
