Here’s how to get started with using Visor for salary payment automation in 3 simple steps:
Before automating employee payments with Visor, ensure your smart account has sufficient funds to cover transaction fees.
Log in to Visor within the txSync platform. On the dashboard, select the option to "Fund Smart Account." Enter the amount of ETH you wish to deposit and confirm the transaction. This ETH will be used to cover gas fees for automated payments.

With your smart account funded, the next step is to install the Recurring Plugin, which allows you to automate your employee payments.
On the Visor dashboard, go to the “All plugins” section. Select the Recurring Plugin, which is designed to automate regular payments. Click "Install" and confirm any associated gas fees.

Now, you'll need to define the parameters for the recurring payment task:
1. Enter a name that indicates its purpose, such as "Employee Salary Payment."
2. Target Address: Input the wallet address of the employee or recipient who will receive the salary payment.
3. Frequency: Set how often the payments should be made. Depending on your payroll schedule, options might include daily, weekly, or monthly.
4. Amount to Pay: Specify the amount of ETH to be transferred for each payment cycle. Ensure this amount aligns with your payroll budget and the employee’s agreed salary.
5. Confirm the Setup: Review all the entered details carefully to ensure they are correct. Once verified, click on the "Continue" button to proceed.
