Paying your Affiliates

You have two options to pay out Affiliates: Manual Pay and PayPal Payouts:

NOTE! If PayPal MassPay appears as a third option for you, this is because it's only available on accounts where it had been previously installed since it's a deprecated feature in PayPal. We touch on PayPall MassPay briefly in this guide here.

Paypal Payouts Payment

1. Set up PayPal Payouts in your PayPal Account if you haven’t yet.

2. Open your Affiliate program 

   • Select Affiliate programs from your Simplero Dashboard

   • Select the Affiliate program

   • Select the Configure tab within your Affiliate program and scroll down to the Payout Settings >> choose PayPal Payouts and Save:
     
     
     

3. Go to the Affiliate Program >> Summary tab.

4. Select the Run via PayPal Payout now... button in the right sidebar
   

You can also set up an automatic payout using the scheduling settings under the PayPal Payouts option:

On the Summary tab you’ll see when the next Payout is scheduled for, but also will be able to manually run the payout at any time.

NOTE! 

• Some users may not be able to use PayPal Payouts per PayPal's Terms of use. If this is you, no worries! You can use the Manual payment option instead 🫡
• You must have enough funds to cover the total payout for your affiliates in your PayPal balance.   Otherwise, the payout will not run.  [PayPal Help Guide for reference]
•  If an automatic payout fails, for example, due to insufficient funds, Simplero will automatically retry the payout. This will happen for a few days until all the attempts fail or succeed.

Set up Payouts notifications

When using PayPal MassPay and PayPal Payouts, you can also add a custom message on the automated payouts sent to your affiliates:
