Pay affiliates in app with PayPal
Currently Jaka app allows connect the app to your PayPal account so you can directly pay for the affiliates in the app. Integrate the PayPal account with the app and use it when you check payouts.
✅ How Paying Affiliates Works
Jaka does not pay affiliates automatically.
Instead:
Affiliates earn commissions from approved sales
You review pending payouts
You manually confirm and send payments
Using PayPal In-App payments lets you:
Pay affiliates faster
Keep payout records in one place
Mark commissions as Paid automatically
⚙️ Step 1: Get PayPal API Credentials
To enable in-app payments, you’ll need Client ID and Client Secret from PayPal.
Log into your PayPal here and click on Log into Dashboard
Make sure that the toggle “Live” is on and the option Payouts is selected
Note:
On the My Account page, scroll down to the Permissions section > Payouts. If there's a green checkmark in the "Live" column for Payouts, it means that Live Payouts has been enabled for your account.
But if there isn't, you will see the “Enable...” link to click through and provide the required information for PayPal to enable it.
Open My Apps & Credentials
