Super is one of the biggest payments you'll make each payday. Why not earn rewards on it? Pay your clearing house through pay.com.au using your Xero payroll data, manage your cashflow with various payment options available, and stack PayRewards Points on every contribution.
It's a one-time setup, then a quick three-step flow each payday.
Before you start — one-time setup
You only need to do this once.
- 1 Choose a clearing house that accepts manual payment submissions. See the list of certified Super Clearing Houses for options.
- 2 Add the clearing house as a supplier payee in pay.com.au using the payment details they issue you - ABN, BPAY biller code or bank account details, and any standing reference details.
You're set. From here, every payday is three steps.
Each payday
1
Run Xero report
2
Submit to clearing house
3
Pay in pay.com.au
Step 1 — Run your super report in Xero
- 1 Go to Reporting > All Reports > Payroll > Superannuation Accruals
- 2 Filter by All Employees, your pay period Date Range, and Super Fund

- 3 Include every contribution type you intend to pay this run - Super Guarantee, salary sacrifice, employer additional, etc. Anything you leave out won't get paid.
- 4 Group by employee to see the total contribution per person

Step 2 — Submit the figures to your clearing house
- 1 Enter the contributions into your clearing house portal
- 2 The clearing house will generate your payment instructions, including a unique PRN (Payment Reference Number) for this run. You'll need this in the next step.
Step 3 — Make the payment in pay.com.au
- 1 Go to Make a Payment > Superannuation
- 2 Select your clearing house as the payee
- 3 Enter the amount and PRN from your clearing house
- 4 Choose your payment method - bank transfer, Visa, Mastercard or Amex
- 5 Choose your PayRewards earn rate
- 6 Review and authorise
Done. Points earned. Super paid.
A few things to know
Super payments can't be set up as recurring
Each payment needs a unique PRN issued by your clearing house for that specific run, so you'll set up each payday's payment fresh.
Timing is on you
Under Payday Super, contributions need to reach each employee's super fund within the legislated window. pay.com.au pays your clearing house, and your clearing house then forwards the funds to the super funds - make sure you're allowing enough time for both legs to clear before the deadline.
