One of the ways you can pay influencers via Mavrck is by connecting your own PayPal Business account. The below outlines the process of setting up a business account and connecting your account to Mavrck.
Prerequisites
Sufficient funds must be deposited into a verified PayPal Business account in order to make payments. A linked credit card is not eligible to make payments through the integration. Please verify your PayPal account by linking a bank account prior to beginning setup with Mavrck.
