BrightPay customisation: what you can change.

BrightPay's cloud workspace gives payroll teams a browser view of employers, employees and pay periods. Tweaksy lets you request clearer labels and table layouts while your team reviews the figures already shown.

No card needed. Try 8 standard builds a month on our sample office page with one computer. A paid plan is needed for your own work sites, from £9.99 a month for two computers. Desktop Chrome. Cancel any time. See the office demo first.

Ideas to try

Small requests for a clearer working day

Start with information already visible on your page. These examples are possible requests; check the result in the preview before keeping it.

  • 01

    Make the employer name and pay period more prominent in this header

    The payroll context would be easier to verify during review.

  • 02

    Keep the employee-name column visible as I scroll across this payroll table

    Displayed amounts would stay aligned with the relevant employee.

  • 03

    Increase the spacing between rows in this employee list

    Adjacent records would be easier to follow on a busy screen.

  • 04

    Make gross pay and net pay headings bold with distinct borders

    The two types of displayed amount would be easier to distinguish.

Custom BrightPay screens, automations or a developer?

The right approach depends on what you want to change. Use BrightPay settings for features the product already provides, and Tweaksy for small changes on an accessible browser page.

Browser customisation

Modify the screen you work with

A request such as “Make the employer name and pay period more prominent in this header” starts with information already visible. Tweaksy builds the change on that page for you to preview, then you can approve it for matching screens on your account.

Workflow automation

Know what needs the platform

If you need BrightPay automations to run when no browser is open, update records or move data between systems, look at the product's built-in workflows or supported integrations. Tweaksy's saved screen changes apply in Chrome when a matching page is open; they are not a background integration service.

Developer work

Connect systems or add new capabilities

For a custom BrightPay integration, ask the provider which APIs and developer options are available for your version and plan. A developer may be needed for data exchange, server-side logic or features outside the existing browser page.

A small change, ready for your team

  1. Choose one screen

    Open an accessible BrightPay web page in desktop Chrome. Start with a simple change to text, spacing or a visible list.

  2. Describe and preview

    Describe the change in your Tweaksy account. Build it with the extension and check the preview in the original tab.

  3. Approve and share

    Approve the exact version to enable it. Your other logged-in computers receive it when they sync, on matching pages.

Questions about Tweaksy and BrightPay

Which BrightPay screens can I use?

These examples are for BrightPay's cloud pages in desktop Chrome. BrightPay for Windows or Mac is outside this scope; display changes do not calculate payroll, make payments or submit information to HMRC.

Can I modify BrightPay without a developer?

For a small change to an accessible browser screen, you can describe what you want in plain English and preview it with Tweaksy. Custom BrightPay integrations, new stored fields and background workflows need the product's own configuration or developer tools. Start with the browser requirements above.

Are these ready-made integrations?

These are ideas for changes to request on a browser page, not prebuilt BrightPay integrations. The result depends on the page layout, information currently visible and your browser permissions. Preview each change on your own screen.

What information is used to build a change?

Creating a change uses your request and relevant page details, processed by Tweaksy and its AI service. Automatic filtering reduces sensitive information, but visible personal or business details can still be included. The privacy policy explains who handles your data and your choices. Try a demo or a page without confidential information first.

Does this replace BrightPay settings or permissions?

No. Tweaksy can adjust a page in your browser; it cannot add server-side fields, retrieve records you cannot access or change account permissions. Review any change affecting page behaviour before approving it.

What happens when BrightPay changes its layout?

A saved change may need rebuilding after a software update. Check it on the updated page, switch it off if needed and preview a revised version before approving it again.

Can I use it with colleagues?

Each desktop Chrome using Tweaksy needs the extension and a login to your Tweaksy account, within your plan's computer allowance. Approved changes sync to those computers. Managed browsers may require your administrator to allow the extension.

Start with one screen and one useful change.

Try a clearer label, a larger reference number or a tidier list. Preview it, then decide what to keep.
