Pending and Paid views
Pending is money you owe. Paid is the record of settled payouts, with amount, method and notes.
Track and record affiliate payouts
BLOOP shows what you owe each affiliate from approved sales and records the payment once you have sent it. BLOOP never moves money itself.
What it is
Affiliate payouts, explained
Payouts run against approved sales only. The Pending view shows each affiliate's outstanding balance, their chosen payment method and how many sales make it up. After you pay them outside BLOOP, you record the payout, the included sales move from approved to paid, and the balance drops.
Because payouts are recorded and not processed, you set the schedule and the minimum balance yourself. You choose which payment methods affiliates can use and which details they must provide. A recorded payout can be reverted if you made a mistake.

Add a private note, and a message that appears in the affiliate's portal Payouts table.

FAQ
Affiliate payouts: common questions
Does BLOOP pay my affiliates?
No. BLOOP records payouts and you make the transfer yourself. The mark-as-paid step asks you to confirm that you paid outside the app.
What if an affiliate has no payment method?
Process to pay is disabled until they add one in their portal. Check the Pending view for the tooltip and nudge them.
Can I pay affiliates in bulk?
Payouts are recorded per affiliate by selecting that affiliate's approved sales. BLOOP does not describe a bulk payment run.
Example: how does a payout look?
Example: an affiliate has four approved sales with commissions of $12, $9, $15 and $6, so the balance is $42. If your minimum is $25, the payout goes ahead and you record $42 after sending it.
