How to collect employee super choice information by enabling the SuperAPI integration.

Updated over a week ago

This help guide will detail how to opt-in to our SuperAPI integration, along with the benefits of using SuperAPI.

SuperAPI is an ATO-integrated digital service provider that simplifies the super choice step during employee onboarding.

The SuperAPI integration allows you to:

  • Automate super stapling checks.

  • Allow employees to provide their existing super fund details easily.

  • Facilitate joining your default super fund or another fund.

  • Automate the member registration process when employees choose to join your default fund.

  • Automate the process of retrieving an employee's super details when they do not provide a choice of super fund (via stapling & defaulting).

How to configure the integration

Using this integration requires you to opt in. To get started, first, ensure you have set an ABN against your payroll integration or Tanda Payroll file. To do this, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Payroll Integrations, then select 'Edit Integration.' Enter your company's ABN on this page.

Next, to opt-in to the SuperAPI Integration, navigate to Settings > Superannuation

and click on SuperAPI Setup. This will take you to the SuperAPI settings page to enter your details.

If you do not see this option, but instead see a 'Configure Super Choice' button, this is because you already have a default super choice configured against your profile. Don't worry, you can still use the SuperAPI integration. Just click on the Configure Super Choice button and toggle the setting off. Then, navigate back to the Superannuation settings page. You should now see the SuperAPI Setup option.

From here, enter the following details to configure the SuperAPI integration:

  • Nominate your employer default super fund. (Required)

  • Confirm your payroll entity details and authorise SuperAPI to lodge TFN declarations. (Optional)

  • Activate super stapling. To complete this setup, you will be required to establish a connection in the ATO's Access Manager. For more information, please see SuperAPI's Help Guide on how to do this. (Optional)

At this point, the SuperAPI integration will be ready to use. You will only need to complete this setup once.

FAQs

Is the SuperAPI Integration free?

Yes. There is no additional cost to using the SuperAPI integration.

Do I need to activate super stapling?

Activating super stapling is optional during the setup phase. However, if you do not activate super stapling, you will receive notifications when you're required to perform a super stapling request to retrieve an employee's super fund membership details. Your team will then need to perform a super stapling request manually via MyGov.
