FirstPromoter offers multiple options for efficiently handling payouts to affiliates. Whether you prefer speed or flexibility, there's a method suited to your needs.
There are 3 ways to pay your affiliates:
One-click (automated payout - the fastest)
After clicking the pay button, payouts will be sent automatically through the API integration with the payout method. You don't have to leave FirstPromoter or mark payouts as paid manually. **It is only supported for PayPal
Externally in bulk
You can pay multiple affiliates by uploading a CSV file to the payment provider. Once payment is sent, you can mark the payouts as paid inside FirstPromoter.
Externally one-by-one
Affiliates can be paid manually one-by-one. Once a payout is completed, you can go back to FirstPromoter and mark it as paid.
