Affiliate Commission payment through paypal.

[joemiami1971]

Hi, is the only way to pay affiliates is through PayPal Mass Pay? PayPal Mass Pay requires a minimum of 100 payments per Mass Pay transaction.

Can I pay individual affiliates, one by one with PayPal through WP Affiliate Manager.

Please explain how.

Thank you

Hi, You can also manually pay an affiliate with your own payment method: https://wpaffiliatemanager.com/how-affiliate-payout-works/

Hi @shadow labs
i have done a test manual payout into 2 test accounts that are live PayPal accounts, but neither of them has been paid. Can I confirm that by pressing the payout and having the PayPal email of the affiliate that this will pay the affiliate or is this just to keep a record? and I am supposed to go to PayPal and send the money to the affiliate? Thanks for your time.

@joshreid, Have you used this payout option?

How to Make a Mass Payment Using PayPal Payouts

I can’t get it yet as I’m just starting to attain affiliates now, and Paypal told me that I need a heap of affiliates first. that’s why I asked the previous question? To start will I need to go to PayPal and pay each affiliate on Paypal? As I don’t want to lose them thinking I have paid them when I am not sure. So the question is when I hit apply to pay out in an affiliate profile will the money go to the PayPal email that they provided or is it just a record-keeping.I understand it works in mass payout. Thanks

@joshreid, When an affiliate refers a sale the plugin registers it as a commission. However, no actual money is sent until you make a payout.

so when i press the payout button for that affiliate the money goes to there Paypal account? If that’s the case my account is not working. Does it take a few days to get to the Paypal account? Does that affiliate receive an email?

If you suspect that your PayPal account is not working, then I recommend that you contact PayPal support. Let us know what they say.

Kind regards

@joshreid, First you need to generate a “paypal_payout.csv” file (Affiliates > Manage Payouts). Now submit it to PayPal using this method: https://wpaffiliatemanager.com/paypal-payouts-setup/

Sorry for the dragged out question but I will try to explain myself a little better to avoid confusion. If I have only 2 affiliates to test my site and as that is not enough affiliates for Paypal to allow a mass payout. Then if I goto each affiliate account one by one and press the payout button for each account, not a mass payout. Is this meant to pay that into the affiliates PayPal account? If so I have a problem with my account and I will contact PayPal.
