How do I use Payroll?

Click on Payroll.

First step (Basic Info): Select the funding account (the currency account that will be used to fund this payroll), a name, and a description.


 

Second step (Schedule): Choose whether the payment should be instant or scheduled.



 

Third step (Add Recipients): Click on "Add Recipient" and choose one of the following methods:

• Select a Recipient Group: Add multiple recipients at once from a group you've created.
• Select a Recipient: Add recipients from your contacts, or search by MAKE handle or nickname.
• Upload CSV: Add multiple recipients instantly by uploading a CSV file with their details (download the template directly from the page). Add each recipient's MAKE handle and payment amount.

Note employees need a MAKE account to receive their payroll

Once the recipient is added — if not via CSV — enter the payment amount, click "Next", and you will be taken to the Payroll summary page, where you can review and confirm.

You can save your Payroll settings as a draft at any step of the process.

Currencies & Payments

Payroll can be sent in USD, EUR, or GBP. Employees can then withdraw in their preferred local currency — including USD, EUR, GBP, BRL, COP, MXN, SGD, PHP, ARS, AUD, and CAD — or in crypto: BTC, ETH, XRP, USDT, USDC, LTC, and BCH.

You can pay both domestic and international teams from the same account. MAKE handles all cross-border payments automatically.

Do employees need a MAKE account?

Yes. Each employee or contractor must have a MAKE account to receive payroll. Once paid, they can hold their funds, withdraw in their local currency, or withdraw in crypto.
