PaySauce uses SuperChoice to manage your superannuation filing and payments. Before you can process pay runs, you need to complete a one-time setup process that creates your SuperChoice account and links it to PaySauce.


Before you begin

Payment type selection

The fields displayed will vary based on which payment type you select:

  • You'll receive a confirmation email

  • You can now process pay runs with superannuation payments

  • Superannuation contributions will be automatically filed and paid through SuperChoice


After registration

You don't need to log in to SuperChoice separately for day-to-day operations. When you process pay runs in PaySauce, superannuation payments and filings are handled automatically through your linked SuperChoice account.

You can access SuperChoice directly if you need to:

  • Review superannuation payment history

  • Update bank account details

  • Access detailed superannuation reports


Common Questions

The page shows "SmoothPay" instead of "PaySauce"

This is correct. SmoothPay is the product name used in the SuperChoice portal. You're in the right place - proceed with registration.

I can't complete the form on my mobile device

The registration process is not optimizsd for mobile. Switch to a computer or laptop to complete the setup.

I'm not sure which payment type to choose

  • Choose Direct Debit if you want superannuation payments to be automatically debited from your account (recommended for most businesses)

  • Choose Direct Credit if you prefer to manually transfer funds


    If you're unsure, Direct Debit is generally the easier option as it automates the payment process.

I entered the wrong bank account details

If you've already submitted your registration, you can update your bank account details by logging in to SuperChoice directly. Contact PaySauce support if you need assistance.

I didn't receive a confirmation email

Check your spam or junk folder. If you still can't find it, contact PaySauce support to verify your registration was successful.

Do I need to set this up for each employee?

No. You only need to complete this SuperChoice setup once for your business. Individual employee superannuation fund details are entered in their employee records in PaySauce.

If you encounter any issues during the registration process, contact PaySauce support for assistance.
