What steps are mandatory to use the Auto Payout feature?

There are two mandatory requirements to enable and use this feature:

Paypal Business Account Integration (Guide)
Paypal of Affiliates added under Payout Methods (Guide)

How do I hide the PayPal button from my Funnel/Website's order forms after integrating PayPal for affiliate payouts?

To hide the PayPal button from your order forms but still use PayPal for affiliate payouts, follow these steps:

Open the Funnel or Website where you want to hide the PayPal button.
Go to the Settings tab.

Paste the following code in the Head Tracking Codesection:

<style>.paypal-content {
  display: none;
}
.order-form-v2 > div > .divider {
  display: none;
}
</style>

Click Save

This will hide the PayPal option from appearing on your order forms while retaining the PayPal integration for affiliate payouts.

Who has permission to pay affiliates using PayPal auto-payouts?

Only Agency Admins and Account Admins have permission to pay affiliates using the PayPal auto-payout method.

How are payouts for recurring products handled when using PayPal?

Payouts for recurring products are automatically generated, but you will still need to manually click the "Pay Now" button to complete the payment via PayPal. GHL does not process payouts automatically due to security and authentication concerns.

Why can't I process payouts for some affiliates using PayPal?

Payouts can only be processed for affiliates who have a PayPal account added as their payout method. If an affiliate doesn't have a linked PayPal account, you'll see an error icon and the option to "Add Account."
