There are two ways to send documents to Payreq Delivery:
1. Automated SFTP upload (recommended for high-volume runs)
- Upload PDFs and a metadata file (CSV, JSON, or XML) to your Payreq SFTP folder.
- The metadata file must include: Account number, Document type, Document date, and File name.

2. Manual upload (for smaller runs)
- Log in to your Payreq Delivery Console.
- Click Upload mail (if enabled).

- Click Choose files and select your PDFs.
- Choose a Document type (e.g. T4).
- Review your Credits (if applicable).
- Click Upload to start processing.

File requirements
- PDFs must be A4, flattened, and not password protected.
- Each document must include a valid Employee ID and authentication field (e.g. postal code).
- Files that don’t match a contact appear in Mail → Undeliverable for review.
What happens after upload
- Payreq matches each file to a Contact using Employee ID and authentication data.
- If a valid subscription exists, the document is delivered securely.
- If not, the item appears as Undeliverable. Read more.
- If archiving is enabled, documents are stored for future retrieval.
Troubleshooting upload issues
Issue | What to check |
Mail appears as Undeliverable | Missing or mismatched contact/subscription |
Document fails to load | Wrong format (non-PDF, protected, or corrupted) |
Wrong recipient | Metadata mismatch between file and contact |
Mail not visible | SFTP file structure or connection issue |
