Affiliate Payouts with Stripe Connect

I know the Affiliate Manager is still being worked on. While at it, can you build in auto or manual payments via Stripe Connect? I suspect we would need to collect banking info from the affiliate, though.

Yes, we are building a system that runs affiliate mkt. campaigns for all of our clients, so this is not just a 1x integration process we had to go thru with Paypal (which was a beast) but something ALL our clients will have to go thru. We are worried about not only this, but also the advanced payment that Paypal requires be transferred to them prior to processing the mass payout. This could be an accounting nightmare for our clients. We need affiliate payouts that are truly automated and will pull from their bank accounts without advancing of funds to the payment processor. Stripe is such a dream to integrate....so we are hoping it can be used to do afffiliate payouts also.

Could really do with this Stripe payout, seeing as all my sales are through Stripe.
Stripe does not API with PayPal OK, not at this time anyway. HAD I KNOWN THIS initially, I would have setup my affiliate program in FirstPromoter.
So, anyone reading this; you have to pay your affiliates manually from your PayPal business account, assuming you get the Mass Payout authorised from them first..otherwise you can't pay out.
You will have to manually transfer the funds from your bank account into PayPal as well. Nothing automated. My first BIG letdown from GHL.

Is there a webhook from GHL to the Stripe Connect account? I cannot get a response from GHL on this. I have a developer standing by to make my payouts automatic as well.

Amy Denicke LMK if you work out a Stripe solution for this. Paypal is a pain and we hope all our clients won't have to go thru that Paypal Developer integration with manual request for mass payments, needing to advance the funds into Paypal prior to mass payments to affiliates, etc. Thanks. steve@noisemaker.xyz

Stephen Bostian I’m still struggling with this process. II think the only way to not have to manually transfer funds from stripe to PayPal is to only offer a PayPal payment option so the money goes into that account. There is an option through PayPal to pay with a credit card, but it’s not very evident with the payment button. I’m pretty disappointed so far.

Honestly I thought this was integrated. I was shocked when I understood that this is just a halfbacked affiliate solution without payout automation. Not cool!
Dev-Team, I expected more from you.

PayPal is the most commonly used payout for Affiliates. But any way to streamline the approval and payout would be great
