Sending Affiliate Commission Payments via a Paypal Mass Pay File

For payments accepted through a credit card or other means other than Paypals adaptive/instant payment, those commissions will need to be manually paid out.

The most convenient way to payout your affiliates is using the Paypal Mass Pay option.

To do this:

Step 1:

Click on Affiliates >> Payouts, then click on Manual.  You can then sort by transaction or by affiliate depending on how you are looking to payout those commissions.

* Note: If you see an exclamation point next to their name, that means the affiliate has not provided/linked a Paypal account with their PayKickstart account and will need to be paid out by other means.

Click on each transaction or affiliate that you want to pay.
