How it works

1 hour to set up. The same day to your first invoice.

  1. Connect Merit Aktiva

    App Store → Merit Aktiva → enter email and password. Uku auto-creates API keys for each client and imports your customer list.

  2. Configure data import

    Set monthly recurrence. Uku imports documents, entries, invoices, bank entries — the actual counts, including changes from previous periods.

  3. Build your contracts

    Pick the services, set the rates. Add volume pricing if you bill by entry count. Uku starts collecting time and data for you.

  4. Send the invoice

    Review, hit send. It lands in Merit Aktiva — line items, VAT, due date.

Fast Client Import

Your Merit customers, in Uku in minutes.

Enter your Merit Aktiva email and password. Uku auto-creates API keys for each client and pulls everyone in — name, email, address, registry code, VAT.

Imported clients are automatically matched against the Estonian Business Register. Missing details get filled in — so your CRM starts complete, not half-empty.

FAQ

Questions about the Merit Aktiva integration

How does the Merit Aktiva connection work?

Uku connects to Merit via API key. Add it once in Uku settings and your customer list, products, and invoice counts start flowing — no other setup on the Merit side.

Is client sync one-way or two-way?

One-way: Merit → Uku. Customers, addresses and registry codes flow from Merit into Uku. We deliberately don't push client edits back — your books stay the single source of truth.

What exactly flows between Uku and Merit Aktiva?

From Merit → Uku: customers, products, purchase and sales invoice counts, payment status. From Uku → Merit: invoices, line items, VAT rates, due dates, references. The "What syncs" section above shows the full picture.

Can I bill per invoice count?

Yes. This is the killer feature of the Merit integration: Merit reports the number of sales and purchase invoices per client per month, and Uku uses that number to bill your volume-based contracts automatically. Stop running invoice-count spreadsheets.

How long does setup take?

Connecting Merit and importing your customer list takes under 10 minutes. Mapping your services to Uku contracts takes 30–60 minutes depending on how many you have. Our onboarding team will sit on a call with you and do most of it.

Will Uku sync invoices to Merit without my approval?

No. Nothing leaves Uku until you hit send. There's no background sync running in the dark. You stay in control of every invoice that lands in Merit.
