Managing affiliate payments well is key to keeping strong relationships with your partners. Whether you prefer automated methods for speed or manual options for more control, the CRM offers several payout solutions to suit how you work. Here's how to pay your affiliates through your account.

Affiliate Payout Options

You can pay your affiliates using any provider or method you like, as long as you mark the payouts as completed. That said, you can use the CRM to streamline the process and keep things accurate and on time.

📌Note: The Payout methods available to your affiliates can be controlled by navigating to Affiliate Manager > Settings > Affiliate Portal Settings. Once configured, affiliates will only see the available payout options, reducing confusion and streamlining the payout process.

How Affiliate Payouts Work

Payouts are generated automatically based on the campaign commissions you've configured.

Once payouts are generated, you have two options: automate the process through PayPal, or process payments manually via bank transfer.

  • Auto Payouts via PayPal (Fastest Option): Automate affiliate payments directly from the Affiliate Manager using the PayPal Payouts API. This removes the need to log into PayPal or manually mark payouts as paid, making it the quickest and most efficient option for bulk payments.
  • Bank Payments: For affiliates who prefer traditional bank transfers, you can manually process payouts through your bank or another payment method. Once payments are completed, simply mark the payouts as paid to keep everything up to date.

Auto Payouts via PayPal

The PayPal Payouts API is the fastest and most cost-effective way to pay multiple affiliates at once. After a one-time setup, you can securely distribute payments without ever leaving the platform.

Manual Payments via Bank Transfers

If you prefer to make bank payments, follow these steps:

Navigate to the Affiliate payouts section in your account.

In the "Pending" tab, approve the payouts you want to process.

Next, navigate to the Approved for Payout tab, where all approved payouts are listed. From this view, select the payouts you wish to process.

After selecting the payouts, click "Pay."

This will open a window allowing you to select the preferred payment method. Navigate to the Bank tab, then verify the affiliates you wish to pay.

After confirming your selections, download the CSV file and follow the provided instructions to complete the payment through your chosen banking platform.

Once payments are completed, don't forget to click "Mark as Paid" to update the status!

Following these steps, affiliate payments can be processed quickly and efficiently, whether you opt for automated PayPal payouts or manual bank transfers. The flexible payout system helps you keep payments on time, your affiliates happy, and your operations running smoothly.
