Learn how to enable PayPal and pay your affiliates easily

Afflr allows you to pay affiliates securely using PayPal. This enables fast, trusted, and widely accepted affiliate payouts.

PayPal Payout Options

Afflr supports two PayPal payout methods: Cash Payout via PayPal (Payout API) and PayPal Classic (Legacy API).

Cash Payout via PayPal (Payout API)

This method uses PayPal’s Payouts API to send direct cash payments to affiliates automatically.

Prerequisites

You must have a PayPal Business account with the Payout feature enabled. PayPal support may need to activate payouts for your account.

Enable Payouts in PayPal

Enable payouts from My Account → Permissions → Payouts in PayPal. Confirmation with PayPal support may be required.

Create PayPal App (Developer Portal)

Create a PayPal app from Apps & Credentials, click 'Create App -> App name', select Merchant, and copy the Client ID and Secret.

Integrate PayPal with Afflr

Enable PayPal in Afflr settings, paste the Client ID and Client Secret, and save to complete integration.

PayPal Classic (Legacy API)

PayPal Classic uses API credentials to process affiliate payouts. This option supports traditional PayPal payment flows.

Enable PayPal Classic

Turn on PayPal Classic from Afflr Dashboard → Payouts → Payment Methods.

Retrieve PayPal API Credentials

Get the API Username, Password, and Signature from PayPal → Account Settings → API Access (NVP/SOAP).

Add API Credentials in Afflr

Paste the PayPal API credentials into Afflr and save to enable payouts.

Configure IPN Webhook

Add the IPN webhook URL from Afflr into PayPal under Instant Payment Notifications and enable IPN messages.

Once configured, you can process affiliate payouts using PayPal Classic directly from Afflr.
