Before you can start using PayDirect Online to collect customer payments from your invoices, you need to go through a few simple steps to enter and verify your bank and business details.

Getting started

Start by accessing your PayDirect Online Merchant Portal through AccountRight or Essentials.

When prompted, enter your applicable banking and business details, including your ABN, business name and contact number, and sales details.

Verifying your bank account

With your setup complete, a Pay now button will now appear on every invoice you send, and customers can begin paying online.

However, the money won’t be deposited into your bank account until it’s verified. 

Verifying your account is a simple three-step process:

1. MYOB will make a 1c deposit into your bank account.

   The deposit usually appears the next day, but could take up to 3 business days to appear depending on your bank.

2. Check your bank statement or online banking site for the 1c deposit. The transaction details will list a 6-digit verification code provided before the description PAYDIRECT.

3. Go to your PayDirect Online Merchant Portal and enter the verification code. Click Verify.

That’s it! Any bank transactions that have occurred between the initial setup and the verification will now be deposited into your bank account.
