In this article, you'll read how to pay out your affiliates. You do this by creating a payment run and uploading the matching SEPA or PayPal file to your bank or into PayPal.

Creating a payment run
You pay your affiliates through a payment run. Go to Affiliates > Sellers and select the affiliates you want to include in this payout. Then click Create payment run in the top right.
❗ Please note: you can only select affiliates whose outstanding balance is above your payout threshold and who have a valid payout method set up.
Under Affiliates > Payment runs you'll find every payment run you've created. Use the three dots next to a payment run to open the SEPA or PayPal file, ready to upload to your bank or into PayPal.
Payout methods
Your affiliates decide for themselves how they want to be paid. In their affiliate dashboard, they can choose between SEPA and PayPal.
Under Settings > Sellers, the Payout method column shows which method each affiliate has chosen.
Uploading the SEPA file to your bank
You upload the SEPA file to your bank. That processes every affiliate payment in one go, so you don't have to pay each affiliate individually.
Your bank's website has more information on how to import a payment batch. If you're not sure, get in touch with your bank's customer service.
Paying out with PayPal
Do you have affiliates who get paid through PayPal? Download the PayPal file from the payment run and log in to PayPal. This one file pays out all your PayPal affiliates at once.
