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:

1. Affiliates earn commissions from approved sales

2. You review pending payouts

3. 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
