We match them to employees

Frequently asked questions

Everything a payroll-skeptical SMB owner wants to know.

Does this work with my payroll software?
If your payroll software produces PDF payslips — Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, BrightPay, IRIS, or anything else — Ghugi works with it. You export the PDFs, drop them in, and we send them.
What happens when the trial ends?
At the end of your 30-day trial you'll be invited to pick a plan. No card is required to start, and nothing auto-charges. If you don't subscribe, your account becomes read-only — your data stays, you just can't send new batches until you pick a plan.
Can my employees reply to the emails?
Yes. Emails are sent via your own mail system (or our managed delivery on Business+), so replies come straight back to you — not to Ghugi.
Is this HMRC-compliant?
Ghugi is the delivery layer. Your payroll software produces the PDFs that are already HMRC-compliant; we hand them to your employees in a secure, branded email. We don't alter content or calculate tax.
What email provider do I need?
On Starter, any SMTP-capable mailbox — Gmail, Microsoft 365, or a transactional service like Mailgun or Resend. On Business+ we handle delivery for you.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. One click in the billing portal. No lock-ins, no cancellation fees, no calls with a retention team.
What happens to the PDFs after sending?
PDFs are encrypted at rest and auto-deleted after your configured retention period (default 90 days). Send-log metadata — who, when, to which address — is preserved for your audit trail.
Do you support weekly or fortnightly payroll?
Yes. Pay frequency is set per organisation — monthly, weekly, fortnightly, or four-weekly. Pay period detection adapts automatically.

Stop emailing payslips like it’s 2005.
