You will find the payout requests under the `Payouts` page. ## Paying affiliates When an affiliate requests payment, you have a 60-day window to deliver the requested amount directly to their PayPal account unless you have specified otherwise in your custom terms and conditions. The affiliate’s default PayPal email, and any alternative payment details they added, are listed in the Payments table on the `Payouts` page. Don't forget to mark the payment as paid after you have completed the transaction. ### Alternative payment methods By default, affiliate payouts are paid through PayPal. Affiliates can add alternative payment details to their Shoffi account, such as a bank account, Wise account, or another payment method. This is only used for reference and does not automatically change the payout method. If an affiliate wants to be paid through an alternative payment method, they must contact you directly and ask for it explicitly. You can choose whether to approve the request. If you approve it, make sure to use the alternative payment details provided by the affiliate when completing the payout. If no alternative method was explicitly agreed with the affiliate, the payout should be sent to the affiliate’s PayPal account. After completing the payment, mark the payout as paid in Shoffi. ## PayPal mass pay If you'd like to issue multiple payouts in a batch, so you don't need to pay each payout individually, you can do it using the mass pay feature. Download the mass pay CSV file from your Payouts tab (`Actions > Download mass payments CSV`), then upload and pay on Paypal using the[ PayPal mass pay](https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/how-do-i-send-a-payouts-mass-payment-help252) feature. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.shoffi.app/for-app-owners/paying-affiliates.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
