# Payouts

> Batch what your partners are owed, export PayPal or Wise CSVs, settle by any method, and mark paid.

TrackRev tracks exactly what each partner is owed and helps you pay it. Today payouts are
**manual-funded** — TrackRev totals the balances and generates the files; you settle through your
own PayPal, Wise, bank or other rail, then mark each partner paid. One-click automatic payouts are
on the roadmap.

## How payouts work

<Steps>
  <Step title="Run the month-end batch">
    On **Affiliate program → Payouts**, create a batch. TrackRev groups every un-batched commission
    by partner and creates one payout row per partner who has cleared the programme's **minimum
    payout** (default \$100). Balances below the minimum roll over to next time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export or read payment details">
    * **PayPal or Wise partners** — export the matching CSV and upload it to PayPal's *Pay multiple
      people* or Wise's *Batch Payments*.
    * **Wire / ACH / WebMoney / Other** — read each partner's payment details from the table and
      settle outside the platform.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Settle the money">
    Pay through your chosen rail.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mark paid">
    Click **Mark paid** on each row and optionally record the rail's confirmation reference. The
    partner's linked commissions close to `paid`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Payout methods

Partners choose how they want to be paid (from the methods your programme accepts):

| Method            | CSV export                                                     | Notes                                     |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |

| **Wise**          | ✅ (`Name, Amount, Currency, Email address, Payment reference`) | For Wise *Batch Payments*                 |
| **Payoneer**      | Manual                                                         | Settle outside, read details from the row |
| **Wire transfer** | Manual                                                         | Bank details on the row                   |
| **ACH**           | Manual                                                         | Bank details on the row                   |
| **WebMoney**      | Manual                                                         | Wallet ID on the row                      |
| **Other**         | Manual                                                         | Freeform details                          |

<Note>
  Partners with incomplete payment details are flagged *"Payment details incomplete — excluded
  from this batch"* and left out until they finish their [portal settings](/partner-portal/for-affiliates#settings-and-payouts).
</Note>

## The Payouts page

Two tabs, each with a count badge:

* **Ready to Pay** — open batches (pending + processing).
* **History** — closed batches (paid / failed / canceled), with paid date and reference.

Columns include Period, Partner (with method chip), Payment details, Amount, Fee and Status
(pending / processing / paid / failed / canceled).

## Funding methods

The programme's **funding method** is currently **Manual** — *"You pay each partner yourself.
TrackRev just tracks who's owed what and shows you a CSV."* Stripe invoice, one-click PayPal and
auto-charge-card funding are shown as coming soon.

<Tip>
  Collect [tax forms](/affiliate/tax-forms) before your first payout run — US tax rules require a
  W-9 or W-8 on file, and the Partners table shows each partner's tax-form status at a glance.
