Quick Answer
Pay approved affiliate commissions directly through PayPal.
After connecting your PayPal Business account and confirming that affiliates have entered their payout details, you can approve commissions, process individual or bulk payouts, and maintain a complete payment history inside Affiliate Manager.
Automate Affiliate Payments Without Extra Manual Work
Paying affiliates manually can become time-consuming as your affiliate program grows. Copying payment information, calculating commissions, and tracking completed payments across multiple tools increases the likelihood of delays and mistakes.
BizStackPro integrates with PayPal to simplify the payout process. Once your payout settings are configured, approved commissions can be processed directly through Affiliate Manager while maintaining a record of payment activity.
This guide explains how to prepare your PayPal account, verify affiliate payout information, process payments, and resolve common payout issues.
