How do you pay your affiliate marketers?


Curious as someone who is about to start their own affiliate programme (using custom built code).

> What kind of KYC information do you get from people?

> What payment/money transfer service do you use?

> How long do you wait between taking a sale and paying the affiliate?

Finally, what are some points/problems to be aware of?

> No KYC before withdrawal. > Payment thru Wise or Paypal, crypto option with 3-5% fee. > 24 hours after withdrawal request should be standard.

I use Rewardful for managing affiliates (i.e. not custom), and I use PayPal for affiliate payouts. I typically wait 30 days between sale and payout. I've never had an issue.

We use FirstPromoter, they're probably the only non-network affiliate tool that handle payouts through Paypal API without asking to bulk upload a CSV file.
