Setting up PayPal

CollabPay has the ability to use ‘PayPal Payouts’ to pay collaborators automatically.

Before we begin with PayPal Payouts, you need to set up the following:

1. A PayPal business account
2. Access to PayPal Payouts (request using this link)
3. A confirmed identity, email, and bank account linked to your PayPal business account
4. Sufficient funds in your PayPal business account

1. Go to CollabPay settings > Payouts – Sending payments > Click the “Login with PayPal” button

Agree to the terms and conditions, and then simply press the button, and it will direct you to a login page.

2. Click the “Agree & Connect” button

3. Done

Funding your PayPal account

PayPal does not allow you to pay via Payouts using bank accounts or cards. You need to have funds in your PayPal balance. Learn more here.

For Shopify:
The majority of store owners use PayPal as a payment gateway for their store, which means funds are constantly being added to the balance. You will need to use this balance to pay your Collaborators, or you can fund your PayPal yourself.

If you are using two gateways, for example – Shop Pay and PayPal. Roughly 50% of all sales go via PayPal on average with stores that use CollabPay. This means you should have plenty of funds in your PayPal account to pay Collaborators.
