Fulfilling incentives in bulk
Payments are ready to be fulfilled once influencers reach the payment stage associated with the incentive in campaign setup (Pre-Payment or Post-Payment).
- Navigate to the payment stage(s) of your campaign.
- Use the checkboxes to select the influencers you wish to pay.
- Click the green Pay button.
- Clicking the pay button opens a transaction summary including the total cost, cost per influencer, and expected processing fees alongside your available PayPal balance.
- Click Pay to confirm the transactions.
Note: If influencers have multiple PayPal incentives that are marked Ready, they will all be fulfilled and reflected in the transaction summary. Read more about incentive fulfillment statuses here.
Fulfilling incentives individually

Reviewing transactions

PayPal transactions are added to this ledger once the incentives are fulfilled in the platform. After that point, the PayPal transaction status may be Pending, Complete, or Failed.
- Pending: Payment has been sent but not yet received.
- Complete: Payment has been received and the transaction completed.
- Failed: Payment could not be delivered and funds were returned to the account.
