Onboard an employer

Create the employer of record before you submit super contributions, through the API or with embedded components.

Every super contribution is debited from an employer. Before you can submit contributions, onboard that employer with their company details, a contact, and the bank account to debit.

​

Choose how to onboard

Use the API

Create the employer from your own backend. Use this when you already hold the employer’s details or want your own screens.

Use embedded components

Send the employer a magic link. They complete a five-step form embedded in your product.

​

Onboard with the API

1. Create the employer

   Call Onboard employer with the company details, the contact person, and the payment account. The direct debit agreement must be accepted to complete onboarding.

2. Confirm it was created

   Fetch the record with Get employer by ID, or list every employer on your account with List client employers.

3. Keep it up to date

   Change details later with Update employer.
