# Paying Affiliates

### **GoAffPro** provides you with two options to pay the affiliates in your program:

* Pay affiliates outside GoAffPro
* Pay affiliates within GoAffPro
  * Pay with PayPal Payouts
  * Pay with Store Discount Coupons

### Pay affiliates outside GoAffPro

This process outlines how to pay affiliates via bank transfer, debit card, and other methods.

1\. Select the supported payment methods for affiliates from Settings > Payments section. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Your affiliates will select from these supported payment methods that you choose and enter their payment details (they will be doing this from their account dashboards).
{% endhint %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/-M5zOAhCzTyXpaLUS05x" %}
[Setup Supported Payment Methods](/affiliate-payments/settings/setup-supported-payment-methods.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

2\. View the pending payments to affiliates from the Payouts > Payments section.

[View Pending Payouts](/affiliate-payments/view-pending-payouts.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

3\. After this, you can make the payment directly to the affiliate, outside the GoAffPro app, and [mark the payment as paid](/affiliate-payments/create-payout-session.md) from the Payouts > Payments section.&#x20;

### Pay affiliates within GoAffPro

#### Pay with PayPal Payouts

To pay affiliates from within the GoAffPro app, you will have to integrate PayPal Payouts and use that to send money to affiliates.

1\. Select PayPal as the supported payment method from Settings > Payments section.

{% endcontent-ref %}

3\. After this, you can go to the Payouts tab, create a payout session, and make the payment using PayPal Payouts integration.

PayPal charges a transaction fee if you use PayPal Payouts for payments. You can view the transaction fee that PayPal charges [here](https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees#paypal-payouts).
{% endhint %}

#### Pay with Store Discount Coupons

You also have the option to pay affiliates using store discount coupons from within the GoAffPro app.&#x20;

1\. Select Store Discount Coupon as the supported payment method from Settings > Payments section.
