How to Pay Your Affiliates in Stack

Stack provides flexibility in paying your affiliates using any provider or method you prefer, as long as you mark the payouts as completed. For a more streamlined process, Stack offers some efficient options.

Payout Options Available in Stack​

Auto Payouts via PayPal (Fastest)​

Automate affiliate payments directly from the Stack dashboard using the PayPal Payouts API. This method eliminates the need to log in to PayPal or manually mark payouts as paid.

Bank Payments​

You can also choose to pay affiliates manually through banks or other methods and then mark the payouts as paid in Stack.

How Payouts Work​

There are two main steps to manage affiliate payouts:

Generating Payouts​

Payouts are generated automatically based on the campaign commissions you've configured.

Paying Affiliates & Marking Payouts as Paid​

You can opt for automated PayPal payouts or manual methods. Here's how each works:

1. Auto Payouts Using PayPal (Fastest Option)​

Using the PayPal Payouts API is the quickest and most cost-effective way to pay multiple affiliates simultaneously. After a one-time setup, you can securely pay affiliates without leaving the Stack platform.
