Overview
Once you’ve enabled Managed Payouts (Beta), your affiliates must complete onboarding to continue receiving their commissions. This involves entering payout details and, in some cases, verifying their identity.
Affiliates will receive the notification in their dashboard to start onboarding, but we recommend using our email templates to notify affiliates about the new system and guide them through the process.
Step 1: Notify your affiliates
We recommend a 2-email sequence:
Intro email: Send once setup is complete to announce the change.
Reminder email: Send a few days before the first payout via the new system.
