Automated Payouts - Pay your vendors directly via your PayPal or Stripe account

This article demonstrates how you as a merchant can activate automated payouts for your vendors. You will be able to pay your vendors either to their PayPal email or directly to their bank account.

Minimum Requirements

PayPal or Stripe payouts must be activated with at least one vendor account linked.

Steps to activate automated payouts

1. Visit **Settings **

2. Followed by Payouts

3. Simply select a Payout Date which activates the monthly payout. The recommended payout date is the 14th of each month. This helps with the following:

• A low fee mechanism to make payouts via PayPal or Stripe as there are associated fees to the number of payouts created.
• Provides enough buffer time to account for returns and refunds so you do not overpay your vendors

Important consideration for Automated Payouts

• Payouts are only made to vendors whose PayPal or Stripe connected account is available
• When payouts is activated, vendors are automatically prompted to complete this information on their end
  

How to disable Automated Payouts for a particular vendor

By default, once automated payouts is activated, it is enabled for all vendors. However, you have the ability to enable and disable them on an individual vendor level.

1. Visit the vendor listing page
   

2. Go to vendor specific settings
   

3. Scroll to the Automated payouts section and select the desired option and then click on the save button
