How to pay affiliates via PayPal MassPay file

This feature is also available for Shopify integrations.

We'll start by going to the "Make Payments" page. You can navigate to it by going to your Affiliatly Admin panel -> Affiliates -> Make Payments

Here we will create the payout request for the selected affiliates that are above your minimum payout sum (no changes here)



After confirming the selected affiliates by clicking yes, the request is saved in the app and the MassPay file is going to be generated so you can download it.


Once you have downloaded and reviewed the Masspay file, go to your PayPal account. Once you're logged in, go to the "Pay & Get Paid" page and under the "Make Payments" section click on Payouts.

To use Payouts, it must be enabled by the PayPal support. You must have PayPal business account for PayPal to allow you to use the feature.


Here's where you upload your masspay file. Click on "Choose File" and select it. You also have the option to enter an additional message with the payments.


You will have one last chance to review all the recipients and amounts to pay. If you click on "View all" you will see all the details.

Once you're 100% sure you can click on "Send Payout"
