📌Note: Before jumping into it make sure you have connected your PayPal account, you can check by going into the Payments tab > Integrations. If the account is connected it will say Manage. Otherwise please connect it first, we have a few articles on it already so please check them out if you need help.


This short guide will help you automate the affiliate commission payment process through PayPal. 

Steps to follow:

  1. Go to the Payout section of your Affiliate Manager inside of the marketing section
     
  1. Select the Approved for Payout section, here you can select the affiliates for payout by checking the box next to their name
  1. To finalize the payout the actions will vary depending if you're paying out to just one affiliate or several at the time. For individual payout click the $Pay button.

To pay multiple affiliates click on the Pay button on top, this will be for all affiliates you selected.

  1.  Review and confirm the details for the payout. If everything is correct click on Pay Now to finalize.


If you have not added a PayPal account for any of the affiliates click on Add Account to do it, once you add it click Pay Now to complete the action.


 

When the payment is complete

You can see the successful payments under the Paid tab, for more details on a payment click the three dots to view them.

That's all there is to it. You can use this to advance the commission payout to your affiliates or ensure the commissions are paid on time.

📌Note: PayPal may take some time to process payments, so you may initially see the status as "Pending". You can click on the refresh icon to check the status again.
