# How to Pay Affiliates Inside UpPromote (In-App Payouts)

In-app payouts let you pay affiliates without leaving UpPromote. You can pay by PayPal, Wise bank transfer, or store credit.

The flow is the same for each method. You connect the method once, send payouts when you're ready, and UpPromote marks them as paid for you. With PayPal and store credit, you can also schedule payouts to run on their own.

 **Good to know:** Prefer to pay from outside the app? You can use [manual payouts](/management/payments/manual-payouts.md) instead, then mark each payment as paid in UpPromote. 
{% endhint %}

### Pay by PayPal

PayPal is the most common in-app method. Connect your account first, then pay affiliates or set payouts to run automatically.

* [PayPal integration](/management/payments/in-app-payments/paypal-integration.md): connect your PayPal account to UpPromote.
* [PayPal payout](/management/payments/in-app-payments/paypal-payout.md): pay affiliates by PayPal from inside UpPromote.
* [Schedule PayPal auto-payout](/management/payments/in-app-payments/schedule-paypal-auto-payout.md): pay affiliates automatically on a schedule (Professional plan and above).

### Pay by Wise (bank transfer)

Use Wise to pay affiliates by bank transfer, which is helpful when affiliates don't use PayPal.

* [Wise bank transfer integration](/management/payments/in-app-payments/wise-bank-transfer-integration.md): connect your Wise account to UpPromote.
* [Wise payouts](/management/payments/in-app-payments/wise-payouts.md): pay affiliates through Wise.

### Pay with store credit

Store credit rewards affiliates with credit they can spend in your store. It's a good fit when your affiliates are also your customers.

* [Store credit](/management/payments/in-app-payments/store-credit.md): set up store credit as a payout option.
* [How store credit works](/management/payments/in-app-payments/store-credits-process.md): follow the store credit process step by step.
