# PayPal Payments

In order to pay your affiliates right from <mark style="color:red;">UpPromote</mark>, you need to set up **PayPal integration** in **Settings** > **Integration**. Find our detailed instructions for PayPal integration [here](https://affiliateapp-docs.secomapp.com/paypal-integration).

{% hint style="info" %}
We use your PayPal balance account to send payouts to affiliates. Please make sure to top up your balance account!
{% endhint %}

## Process the payout

Once you have **connected** your PayPal account, you can start paying affiliates within the app by going to **Payments** > Select "**In-app payments**" > **Process Payment**:

You can choose to pay one affiliate at a time or select multiple affiliates to process **bulk payments**.

In case you need to input **Google Authentication** code, open **Google Authentication** app on your phone > Enter the number string shown on your phone screen (6 characters).

The Google authentication code will be valid for 30 seconds only; after 30 seconds, the code will be refreshed.
