Stop Paying Affiliates One by One

AFFY connects to PayPal's Payouts API and sends every approved commission in a single batch request. No CSV exports, no manual transfers, no copy-pasting PayPal emails — one click pays everyone.

Available on Pro and Premium plans. Mass Payment Statements for accounting on Premium.

Without AFFY

Paying affiliates manually wastes hours every month

  • Log into PayPal and send each payment individually
  • Copy-paste PayPal emails from your spreadsheet one row at a time
  • Calculate each commission amount manually before each transfer
  • No status tracking — email affiliates to confirm they received payment
  • Failed payments require finding the error and starting over
  • No PDF record for accounting — screenshot each transaction manually

With AFFY + PayPal

Entire affiliate payout run in under 2 minutes

  • Select approved commissions, click "Pay via PayPal" — done
  • AFFY submits one PayPal Payouts API batch for all selected affiliates
  • Commission amounts calculated automatically from your flow settings
  • Payout status updates in real time: Processing → Paid / Failed
  • Failed items isolated — cancel and retry without touching successful ones
  • Mass Payment Statement PDF generated automatically (Premium)
How it works

From approved commissions to paid affiliates in 4 steps

Setup takes under a minute. Running a payout takes under two.

1

Connect PayPal via OAuth

In AFFY Settings → Integration, click Connect with PayPal. Authorize AFFY on your PayPal business account. Takes under a minute.

2

Affiliates add their PayPal email

Each affiliate enters their PayPal email address in Settings → Payment Method inside their affiliate portal. One-time setup on their side.

3

Approve commissions

Review pending commissions in the Payouts section. Select individually or bulk-approve the entire queue.

4

One click — all paid

Click "Pay via PayPal". AFFY submits one batch to PayPal's Payouts API. Every selected affiliate receives their payment simultaneously.

That's it.

After the one-time OAuth connection, every payout run is just: approve → select → click. No logins, no CSV, no copy-paste.

Features

Everything you need for affiliate payouts

True bulk payouts

One API call pays every affiliate in the batch. No looping through transfers one by one — 50 affiliates paid as fast as one.

Instant processing

AFFY submits the batch synchronously. Affiliates typically receive PayPal notifications within minutes of you clicking pay.

Real-time status tracking

Each payout item moves through Approved → Processing → Paid (or Failed). Refresh Status pulls the latest from PayPal at any time.

Retry failed payouts

Failed payouts return to Approved status with one click. Once the affiliate fixes their PayPal email, resend without recalculating.

Mass Payment Statements

Auto-generated PDF statements per batch — recipient, amount, PayPal transaction ID. Ready for your accountant. Premium plan.

PayPal OAuth — no stored credentials

AFFY connects via PayPal's OAuth flow. Your PayPal credentials never touch AFFY — only the authorisation token used to submit payouts.

Payout status lifecycle

Every commission moves through a clear pipeline. Nothing gets lost.

Approved

Commission approved and queued for payout.

Processing

Batch submitted to PayPal — transfer in progress.

Paid

Payment confirmed by PayPal and received by the affiliate.

Failed

PayPal could not deliver the payment. Cancel and retry after the affiliate updates their email.

Failed payouts don't block the rest

If one affiliate's PayPal email is invalid, only their payout fails — all other payments in the batch succeed. Cancel the failed item, ask the affiliate to update their email, and resend that single payout without redoing the whole batch.

Premium feature

PayPal Mass Payment Statements

Every payout batch generates a PDF statement listing each recipient, the amount paid, and the PayPal transaction reference. Hand it directly to your accountant or attach it to your monthly close.

Statements are generated automatically when the batch completes — no manual assembly, no downloading individual PayPal receipts.

  • Recipient name and PayPal email
  • Individual amount per affiliate
  • PayPal transaction ID per payment
  • Batch total and currency
  • Date and batch reference

PayPal Payouts FAQ

PayPal Mass Payouts (also called PayPal Payouts API) lets businesses send money to multiple recipients in a single API request. Instead of paying each affiliate one by one, you submit one batch and PayPal distributes the payments simultaneously.

Yes. When you click "Pay via PayPal" in AFFY, all selected commissions are submitted to PayPal as a single Payouts API batch. Each affiliate receives their payment to their registered PayPal email at the same time.

Affiliates need a valid PayPal email address entered in their affiliate portal under Settings → Payment Method. If the email is not linked to an active PayPal account, PayPal will invite the recipient to claim the funds.

Failed payouts appear with a Failed status in the AFFY Payouts page. You can cancel the failed payout (returning it to Approved) and resend after the affiliate updates their payment details.

A PDF document summarising a payout batch — each recipient, amount, and PayPal transaction reference. Used for accounting reconciliation. AFFY generates these automatically on the Premium plan.

Yes. AFFY also supports manual payouts via CSV export, formatted for Wise, bank transfer, or any processor you prefer. PayPal is the only fully automated method; CSV export works on all plans.
