Start your payroll subscription

To use Wave’s payroll feature after your free trial, you must have an active payroll subscription. You can complete your payroll profile setup without a subscription, but you cannot approve a payroll or receive automatic tax filings and payments.

You can enter your card details at any time during your payroll trial to ensure your subscription stays active after the 30-day trial period ends. You can also enter them any time after your trial has ended. Entering your details will not end the trial early. Wave will only begin billing your card once your free trial is complete.
