Settings > Billing > Payment methods

1. Payment Method

This is where you set up how you will pay the affiliates in your program, simply by selecting your preferred payment methods. The affiliates will then be able to choose one from the selected to be their method for getting paid.

You can click Preview form to preview its payment information form for affiliates.

Or add a new custom payment method besides the default ones. You must first click the Create custom payment method button.

Also, you can click the Add field button and make it required for affiliates to provide payment details such as the cardholder's address, ZIP code,... etc.

2. Integrate PayPal account

PayPal allows you to pay your affiliates in a few seconds. Before we begin, please keep in mind that a PayPal Business Account is required for integration. Click here to learn more.

A tutorial video can be found here.

Step 1: Go to PayPal Developer Website and log in

Log in to your PayPal account with your email address and password.

Step 2: Enable Paypal Payouts

Visit My Account, scroll down and click Enable in the Live column.

To get this certified, you need to contact PayPal (it can take from hours to days).

You'll be redirected to the PayPal Customer Service team. On the Contact page, scroll down and click on Call us or Message Center > New Message (you might need to log in to your PayPal account), then initiate a chat with their team so they can assist you further.

Based on your discussion with PayPal, they will send you an email to let you know that your request is being reviewed. Once you've been approved, the API will be marked with a check mark, indicating that the Payouts API is live.

Step 3: Create your app

Go to Apps & Credentials, switch from Sandbox to Live mode, and then click Create App.

Next, fill in the app name (BixGrow) and click Create App.

Now, you will see your Client ID and Secret, which will be used in the next step.

Step 4: Integrate with BixGrow

Return to BixGrow > Settings > Billing > click the Setup button.

Then, enter the Client ID and Secret in Step 3 and create a strong Payment Password that will be required to fill in when you process payments. It secures your credentials since we don't have access to your money. To keep your payouts safe, every access to your PayPal Payouts API will require this Payment Password set up here.

For your own payment security, we don't have access to your Payment Password, nor can we retrieve it when it's lost or forgotten. If you don't remember it, you'll have to integrate your PayPal account again.

Also, tick on the two boxes to agree that our app will securely store your information and use these credentials to transfer money outside of your PayPal account. Finally, click Save.

3. Store credit redemption condition

This is where you can set up redemption conditions for affiliates that already have Store Credit as the commission payment method. You can also set up a Minimum/Maximum redeemable amount, the times should the redemption amount multiply, or add a prefix to the generated coupon codes to differentiate them from your other coupons.

4. Minimum Payout

This is where you can add a minimum threshold of the total commission amount an affiliate has to earn before having an invoice issued and receiving payouts.

5. Note for affiliates

This is where you can describe your payment frequency, minimum payment, or supported payment methods and display the information at the top of the Invoice tab in the Affiliate Dashboard.
