What It Looks Like in Real Use

Let’s say you're running a digital course platform using Tekmatix. You’ve onboarded 5 new affiliates for your latest product launch. Instead of waiting for them to manually add payout details, your admin team adds PayPal emails for all five to ensure timely commissions after your launch.

Later, one affiliate logs in and adds a bank account as a backup, setting it as their primary method.

By setting everything up ahead of time, you:

• Avoid late or missed payouts
  

• Provide a professional experience for affiliates
  

• Reduce the back-and-forth with support tickets
  

Final Thoughts

Having a proper payout method setup in Tekmatix ensures that your affiliate program remains efficient and trusted. Whether it’s PayPal or bank transfer, giving your affiliates options—and guiding them to set things up right—sets the stage for long-term success.
