How FirstPromoter pays affiliates
Your affiliates get paid without manual transfers
One send covers everyone due
Everything you owe an affiliate, across every campaign, goes out as one transfer
Paying six hundred affiliates is the same one action as paying six
A failed send can retry without ever paying anyone twice
Three ways the money moves
Stripe Payouts sends commissions straight from your own Stripe balance
One Auto-payouts invoice pays everyone, and each affiliate picks how to withdraw
Each affiliate picks their own withdrawal method, including PayPal, Venmo and prepaid cards
The paperwork closes itself
The affiliate’s invoice writes itself the moment the payment clears, VAT included
You can collect W-9 and W-8BEN forms, then filter the queue by who submitted
Invoices arrive in the format EU tax rules expect, ready to file as they are
14-day free trial. No credit card required.
From commission to payout
Payouts queue themselves before you send
Payouts generate from unpaid commissions
This runs every few hours against your payout terms, and you can switch it off.
Pick the affiliates and the method
Filter the payouts due screen by balance or threshold, then send through Stripe, PayPal or Auto-payouts.
Balances and invoices settle themselves
Each status moves to paid by itself, and the self-billing invoice lands with it.

Your Stripe balance pays every affiliate due
On every plan, payouts from FirstPromoter run as Stripe Connect transfers out of the balance you already hold.
Affiliates onboard themselves
Each affiliate connects and verifies their own details through Stripe, so their banking never reaches you.
A restricted key, not full access
The connection runs on a restricted Stripe key, scoped to what payouts need and nothing more.
Every batch behind two-factor
Sending a batch asks for two-factor authentication, so a stolen login cannot move your money.

Every way to pay
Affiliate payout methods and controls
Stripe Payouts on every plan
Send commissions from your own Stripe balance through Connect transfers. Affiliates onboard through Stripe on their own, with nothing for you to collect or store.
Auto-payouts, managed on Enterprise
Pay one invoice and each affiliate withdraws by bank transfer, PayPal, Payoneer, Venmo, Cash App or prepaid card. Unclaimed payouts retry from the dashboard.
PayPal payouts and CSV methods
Pay one affiliate in a click or run mass PayPal. Wise, six bank formats and crypto need a CSV you upload, then mark paid.
Terms, thresholds and gates
Due dates run NET-0 to NET-120 on a monthly or custom cycle. Hold payouts until earnings pass a minimum you set per program, method or campaign.
14-day free trial. No credit card required.
