Setting up Readysell Payroll

Overview

Readysell Payroll is powered by KeyPay, an online payroll system designed to make payroll simpler for small to medium businesses. KeyPay is quick to set up, intuitive and easy to use and integrated into your Readysell system. You can learn more about the features of Readysell Payroll at our web site.

Before you can use the payroll import feature, you must ensure that you've set up the integration in Readysell. Follow these steps to set up Readysell appropriately.

So far every dealer has been able to setup keypay without any help from Readysell, just using the documentation. But you can always book a few hours of assistance from our implementation team if you want us to do the setup work for you.
