Enabling Payouts Service

Once you’ve decided to use Payouts Service, getting started is simple and quick.

First, you’ll use your AffiliateWP.com to connect your site to Payouts Service. With your account validated and your site connected to ours, all you have to do is enable Payouts Service in your AffiliateWP settings.

At this point, your affiliates need to be made aware of your new payout method.

The affiliate experience

Enabling Payouts Service gives you the ability to create a seamless, branded experience for your affiliates.

When your affiliates visit the Affiliate Area you’ve provided using AffiliateWP, display a notice encouraging them to have their earnings paid through your new payout method. This can be done using the notice functionality provided by Payouts Service, as well as your own creative approach.

White-labeling

By default, your affiliates will see our brand colors and logo when interacting with various parts of the system. We also offer white-labeling which displays your logo and removes our logo and colors.

Processing payouts

This is where the fun begins. Payouts Service makes it easy and painless to pay your affiliates. It all starts in your WordPress dashboard.

After you’ve reviewed your referrals and you choose to initiate a payout, you’re immediately presented with an invoice that’s ready for payment.

Payment options:

  • Credit or Debit Card
  • ACH direct debit (USA site owners only)
  • SEPA, Sofort, iDeal (for European site owners, click here for more information)
  • Paypal
  • Alternative
    • Bank-to-bank wire transfer
    • Mail-in check

Once you’ve paid the invoice, it may take anywhere between 2 and 14 days for your affiliates to receive their earnings through the payout method they chose during registration.
