How to set up automatic payouts using PayPal on CollabPay

CollabPay uses ‘PayPal Payouts’ to pay collaborators. Before we begin, you need to set up the following:

• A PayPal business account with sufficient funds for payments
• A confirmed identity, email, and bank account linked to your PayPal business account
• Permission from PayPal to use PayPal Payouts (follow the steps below to apply)

Using PayPal Payouts will also incur a $0.25 fee to each payout. These are PayPal fees and CollabPay is not in control of this.
