What Setting Up PayPal Unlocks

Once your live keys are saved, VendorPayout can send money on your behalf. This enables the Pay via PayPal Payouts option when settling a payout statement, one-time PayPal payouts from a vendor's payout page, and recurring payouts.

Fees

Each vendor payout transaction incurs a $0.25 fee charged by PayPal. These are PayPal fees and VendorPayout is not associated with them.

Optional

PayPal integration is optional. You can continue paying vendors through other accounting systems like QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, ACH transfers, or bank wires — record those payments on a payout statement or as a manual payout.
