Answer
Setting up Single Touch Payroll is easy with Lightning Payroll. For desktop users of the program, you simply need to make sure there is an ATO Machine Credential installed on the machine on which you run Lightning Payroll. For web/online or mobile users of the program, you just need to ensure your SSID has been registered.
If you already have your Machine Credential installed on your computer, or have registered your SSID, you do not need to do anything else to link it to Lightning Payroll directly. Lightning Payroll will automatically find and recognise your Machine Credential, or registered SSID.
The only other step is to make sure your Lightning Payroll program is up to date. To do this on the desktop version, click Check for Updates Now?, at the bottom of the Lightning Payroll program. If an update is available, click Yes. The online/web and mobile apps will be kept up to date automatically, so long as your mobile app store settings are setup to update automatically.
