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 your bank and business details, and verify your account.

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, you only need to verify your account to begin receiving payments.

Verifying your account is a simple three-step process:

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

1. Note: Deposit could take up to 3 days to appear

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

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 be deposited into your bank account, and you’re set to start receiving payments immediately.
