One of the biggest problems with most merchants today in making affiliate payments is on how to reduce those chances of making an erroneous payment and ultimately how to automate it. The common scenario is for merchants to manually initiate the payments to marketers basing from the commissions report generated by their e-store software. This is ok for small scale payments but if it would run to hundreds and thousands of payments, this could be downright wearisome and it poses a greater risk of making wrong payments. And we all know that payment errors not only drain your sales income but also drain your time and efforts which would otherwise be spent for more productive and profitable activities.

Paypal has come up with a brilliant solution to this dilemma. They have incorporated a new feature called Mass Pay. It helps automate affiliate payments by connection the e-store software commissions' report of the merchants into the payment system. All the merchant has to do is to look into the report and verify the data. So instead of manually entering the affiliate amounts, all the merchant has to do is to double check the report and click send to begin sending the payments. Just like that, your payments to multiple marketers can be done. This dramatically reduces the chances of paying incorrectly and it is a great time saver. One great thing about it is that it also provides a book keeping feature since all your transactions are recorded in Paypal's transaction summary. So you can effectively keep track of every payments and transactions.

This is not only beneficial to merchants but to affiliate marketers themselves. It cuts down any related problems with accepting affiliate payments from merchants plus it's a secure way of sending and receiving payments. Paypal's refund feature also allows the return of erroneous payments within a certain number of days. The platform of Paypal is also very simple and easy for everyone so navigating through it is not a hassle. Plus, as affiliate marketers, receiving correct payments on time is a great thing.

Paypal is also a great tool in receiving payments from individual customers. Having that paypal button on your site would make it easier and much less simpler for customers to pay for their purchases. It also gives a feeling of security in those payments since Paypal has been such a reputable company for a safe and secure way of receiving and making payments. This is also the common setting in most of the merchant's site because of the additional credibility boost.

Accepting credit card payments is also made easier through Paypal's business account. This is another type of account which only legitimate merchants can avail of. All you need to do is supply the information needed by Paypal to verify your identity and bank accounts. And Paypal can process not just any other credit cards because legitimate ones are a requirement. They have measures to make sure that the credit cards used have available balances or are otherwise used legitimately.
