Send a batch of PayPal payouts in one run

Sends a batch of payments out to multiple PayPal recipients at once, instead of processing each payout by hand.

How the work actually flows

The problem it solves

Paying out a list of vendors, affiliates, or contractors one at a time through PayPal is slow and repetitive, especially when you're doing it every pay period. Manual payouts also make it easy to fat-finger an amount or miss someone on the list. A batch process removes that busywork and the room for error.

Who it fits

Businesses that regularly pay multiple vendors, affiliates, or contractors through PayPal.

How it works

  1. You provide a list of recipients and payout amounts
  2. The system submits the full batch to PayPal in one request
  3. PayPal processes each payout to the recipient's account
  4. You get a confirmation once the batch completes
What you get

Vendor payments sent in a single run

Pay every vendor, affiliate, or contractor on your list through PayPal in one batch instead of sending each payment separately.

What you get

A completed batch payout with funds sent to every recipient on your list.

What you need

A PayPal business account with payouts enabled.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
