PayeesImport
Once you've uploaded your file, you'll need to match your file's column headers to the fields in pay.com.au. This tells the platform which data to read for each payee.
How to match your columns
- 1 On the Match Columns screen, the leftmost column shows pay.com.au's required fields. The middle column shows your imported column headers — adjust these to match the correct fields.
- 2 The platform will try to auto-map your columns. If any mapping looks wrong, click the drop-down arrow to select the correct column header from your file. Any unmapped columns will prompt you to Select an option.
- 3 Make sure all columns are matched correctly — for example, BSB → Account BSB or Payee first name → Payee name.
- 4 The platform will flag any validation issues at this point. Common issues include:
| Issue | What to check |
|---|---|
| Empty cells | All required fields must be filled in your file |
| Invalid bank account details | Check BSB format (e.g. 123-123, not 123456789) and account numbers |
| Invalid email addresses | Ensure email fields are correctly formatted |
| Duplicate payees | Duplicates won't be imported — remove them from your file before uploading |
- 5 If issues are found, correct your file and upload it again. The best approach: review your file before importing and make sure there are no missing fields and all data is in the correct format.
- 6 Once all columns are matched and there are no red error lines in the table, click Continue to proceed to the final stage.
