Frequently asked questions about payroll for online businesses
How does “Try for free” work?
“Try for free” allows you to discover if Payroller is the right software for you and your business before you commit to our platform. “Try for free” is cost and commitment-free and we do not require any credit card details to sign up. So give Payroller a try, it only takes a few minutes to get set up.
While the Payroller mobile app is completely free – fees will apply to use the Payroller web app, Xero integration, and to make super contributions through our integrated super clearing house (Beam).
Can I do my own payroll for my online store?
You can, but for businesses with a growing team or complex pay structures, payroll software can save significant time and minimize errors. It also helps ensure compliance with tax regulations.
Do I need to consider different award rates for online store staff?
The award rate applicable to your online store employees depends on their specific roles. Some common awards include:
- General Retail Industry Award (2020): Covers roles like customer service representatives or online store assistants involved in order fulfillment.
- Clerks – Private Sector Award 2020: May apply to administrative or customer support staff.
How do I handle payroll for remote or work-from-home arrangements for my online shop?
Clear policies are essential for managing remote work. This might include outlining work hours, communication expectations, and ensuring appropriate equipment is provided (if applicable). Payroll-wise, ensure you’re following the relevant award rate regardless of the employee’s location.
What payroll records do I need to keep for my online store?
You need to keep detailed records for at least seven years, including timesheets (if applicable), payslips, tax reports, and other payroll documentation. This ensures you can demonstrate compliance with regulations in case of an audit.
Do I need to account for any additional costs when paying overseas contractors (if applicable)?
Yes, there might be additional considerations. Depending on the contractor’s location and the nature of the work, you may need to withhold foreign income tax or pay them as a vendor (which requires issuing a 1099 form in the US). Consulting a tax professional is recommended for navigating international contractor payments.
Can payroll software help with inventory management?
While not a core payroll function, some payroll software integrates with inventory management systems. This can be helpful for tracking employee hours associated with specific fulfillment tasks (e.g., picking and packing orders) and potentially informing staffing decisions based on order volume.
How does Payroller work?
Payroller is an STP-enabled software that automatically submits payroll information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) – through a secure cloud network – whenever you perform a payrun. Payroller helps you to track, manage and record your payroll while safely sharing that information (and staying compliant) with the ATO.
As a truly one-stop payroll solution, you can manage staff roster, invite your accountant, bookkeeper or BAS agent and even make Super contribution (Beam) on Payroller.
Can I share my Payroller account?
Absolutely, you may share your account and even set different access permissions.
How long does it take set up online store payroll with Payroller?
Only a few minutes. The majority of our customers get up and running within 15 minutes. If you do need more help in getting set up, simply reach out to our capable live agents and they will have you using Payroller like a seasoned user in no time. Check out our handy user guides.
Does Payroller integrate with other platforms?
