# Overview

PromoteKit makes it easy to pay your affiliates their earned commissions. You can use automated batch payments or process payouts manually.

## Payout Timing

By default, PromoteKit uses **NET-15** payout terms. This means commissions are due 15 days after the start of the month. For example, commissions earned in December would be paid out on January 15.

To change your payout terms:

1. Go to **Campaign Settings** in your PromoteKit dashboard
2. Click your default campaign
3. Expand **Advanced Campaign Settings**
4. Select your preferred payout term

## Payment Methods

  - [PayPal Mass Payments](/docs/payouts/paypal-mass-payments): Pay up to 5,000 affiliates at once via PayPal
  - [Wise Batch Payments](/docs/payouts/wise-batch-payments): Pay up to 1,000 affiliates at once via Wise

## Manual Payouts

You don't have to use PayPal or Wise. You can pay affiliates through any method you prefer (bank transfer, check, crypto, etc.) and then record the payment in PromoteKit:

1. Pay the affiliate through your preferred method
2. Go to **Generate Payouts** in PromoteKit
3. Mark the payment as complete

> **Note:** Regardless of payment method, always mark payouts as complete in PromoteKit so
  your records stay accurate.
