You have sent a partner their money and now the ledger needs to agree. Yaplet does not transfer anything itself — you pay through your own PayPal, bank or Stripe, then record the payout here so the commissions are marked settled and the partner's balance goes back to zero.
Before you start
Send the money first, and note the transaction reference your payment provider gives you. Yaplet fills in a placeholder reference when you record the payout, and you replace it with the real one afterwards.
Record the payout
- In the left menu, open Marketing → Affiliate Management → Partners.
- Click the partner you have paid.
- Open the Actions menu at the top right and click Payout Partner.
- Read the confirmation — "Have you paid {name} {amount}? This will reset their balance to $0 and mark all unpaid commissions as processed." — and confirm. Yaplet records a payout for the whole outstanding balance using the partner's saved Payout Method, marks every unprocessed commission as Processed, and sets the balance to zero.
- Open the payout from Marketing → Affiliate Management → Payouts and replace the placeholder transaction ID with the real one. You can add notes on the same screen.
If the partner's balance is zero, nothing happens and Yaplet tells you there is no balance to pay out.
What happens when you confirm
- All that partner's unprocessed commissions move from Unprocessed to Processed.
- The partner's outstanding balance drops to zero.
- A payout appears in their history, visible to them on their own dashboard.
- Yaplet stores who triggered the payout, when, and from roughly where, on the payout record.
Where past payouts live
Every payout in your organisation is listed at Marketing → Affiliate Management → Payouts, with its transaction ID, amount, partner, method and date. A shorter list of just that partner's payouts sits at the bottom of their own page.
Deleting a payout record does not undo the settlement: the commissions stay marked Processed and the partner's balance stays where it is — you have simply thrown away the receipt. If you need to put the money back on their balance, reverse the commissions instead, with Revoke Payout in the commissions list or Mark as Unprocessed on a single commission.
What's next
After paying out, share the partner dashboard so they can see the payout for themselves.
