Protocol analysis and Open Data integration for Puerto Rico accounting: transactions, payroll, invoices, and receipt data—compliant API or source-code delivery
TuChequera.com is Puerto Rico’s most complete accounting platform: it lets you record bank transactions, create checks for suppliers, run payroll with employer contributions, print checks, and more from web and mobile. In 2019 TuChequera partnered with Western Union Business Solutions to offer WU EDGE—international payments in 130+ currencies—to local entrepreneurs. We deliver protocol analysis and usable API implementations so you can integrate transaction history, payroll records, invoices, photo receipts, and reconciliation data in line with OpenData and OpenFinance principles, with user consent and compliance.
The app’s data is valuable because it holds transaction ledgers (deposits, checks, daily operations), payroll and deductions (employee payrolls, aportaciones patronales, contractor withholdings for Form 480), and invoices and receipt images—all of which support accounting sync, tax reporting, and ERP integration.

From protocol analysis and authorized data flows, the following data types can be exposed via APIs we deliver. Granularity and use cases are indicative; actual scope depends on app capabilities and client consent.
| Data type | Source (screen / feature) | Granularity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank transactions (deposits, checks) | Transaction register, daily operations | Per transaction, date, amount, type | Reconciliation, reporting, audit |
| Payroll and deductions | Payroll module, employee nóminas | Per run, per employee, deductions, employer contributions | Tax (W2-PR, SURI, Form 480), ERP sync |
| Invoices | Facturación, invoices sent to clients | Per invoice, amount, date, client | Revenue tracking, AR aging, CRM |
| Photo receipts / expense records | Foto Recibos, mobile capture | Per receipt, image + metadata, linked to transaction | Compliance, audit, expense reporting |
| Reconciliation state | Reconciliaciones, account reconciliation | Per account, period, status | Accountant sync, audit trail |
| Suppliers and payees | Check creation, supplier list | Per supplier, name, optional identifiers | AP integration, vendor management |
A Puerto Rico small business uses TuChequera Móvil for daily transactions and wants to push transaction history and check register data into QuickBooks, Sage, or a custom ERP. Our API exposes transaction list and statement endpoints with date range and type filters. Data maps to OpenData: structured transaction records (date, amount, type, memo). Flow: TuChequera (web or app) → auth → our API → client ERP or accounting software.
An employer needs to export payroll runs and employer contributions (aportaciones patronales) for W2-PR, SURI filings, or Form 480 (contractor withholdings). We deliver a payroll API that returns payroll runs, employee totals, and deduction breakdowns. This fits OpenFinance: payroll data as structured, exportable records for tax and compliance.
A firm wants to aggregate invoices created in TuChequera with other sales channels. Our implementation provides an invoice list and detail endpoint (client, amount, date, status). Use: revenue dashboards, AR aging reports, and CRM sync—aligned with document-ready export and retention rules.
Auditors or accountants need to link photo receipts (Foto Recibos) to transactions for compliance. We deliver an API that returns receipt metadata and optional image references (with consent). Data flow: mobile capture → TuChequera → our API → client storage or audit tool; compliant with minimal retention and access control.
A business shares TuChequera with an external accountant. Our API can expose reconciliation state and shared-user context so the accountant’s tools stay in sync. Fields: reconciliation status, last_updated, optional user roles. Use: collaborative accounting and audit trails without duplicating manual entry.

We work from client authorization or public/authorized APIs and follow privacy and local regulations. For Puerto Rico, Law 52 of 2018 (Data Protection Act) regulates collection, processing, storage, and disclosure of personal data and grants rights to access, correct, delete, or block data. Law 162 of 2009 (Personal Information Registry) requires entities handling personal data to register and adopt security measures; Law 148 of 2019 supports electronic documents and signatures. We align implementations with these and with data-breach notification requirements; consent records and minimal retention are supported.
A typical pipeline we design: (1) Client app (TuChequera web or Móvil, or your front-end)—user logs in and authorizes access. (2) Ingestion / API layer—our delivered service authenticates (session or token), validates scope, and queries the data source (transactions, payroll, invoices). (3) Storage or cache (optional)—for aggregation or reporting. (4) Output—JSON/API to your ERP, dashboard, or tax tool. Logs and consent are retained for audit.
TuChequera targets B2B and B2C: small businesses, entrepreneurs, and accountants in Puerto Rico, with web (TuChequera.com) and mobile (TuChequera Móvil on Android and iOS). The platform is priced at about $30/month with a 30-day free trial. In the same space, Accountberry (Puerto Rico–focused accounting and payroll, ATH Móvil integration), Sage 50, and QuickBooks serve overlapping needs; TuChequera’s strength is local compliance (nóminas, Form 480, aportaciones patronales) and the 2019 Western Union WU EDGE partnership for international payments.
We are a technical studio focused on app interface and authorized API integration. We deliver protocol analysis, Open Data integration, third-party integration, and automated scripting plus API documentation. Services start at $300; we can deliver first and you pay when satisfied.
