Platform Services

The Platform tab provides cross-cutting services that power Deel’s global employment infrastructure. These APIs help you build integrations that span multiple products, manage organizational structure, ensure compliance, and access essential reference data.

What’s in Platform?

Platform services are foundational capabilities that work across all Deel products—whether you’re managing EOR employees, independent contractors, or global payroll. Use these APIs to:

  • Manage organizational structure - Set up legal entities, organizations, groups, and reporting hierarchies
  • Ensure compliance - Run screenings, background checks, and manage immigration requirements
  • Integrate systems - Configure webhooks, access reference data, and manage cost centers
