Paying affiliates in USDT: how to run payouts without manual work
Schedule, minimum amount, pre-payout checks and why USDT became the standard for media buying teams.
Payouts are the first thing partners judge a network by. You can offer the best payouts and still lose a partner by paying a week late. Here is how to run payouts on time without taking half a day of your team's time.
Why USDT
Media buying teams work from many countries, and bank transfers are slow and expensive for them. USDT arrives fast, ignores bank holidays and works the same for a partner anywhere. That is why most iGaming networks pay in it.
Rules worth writing down
- Schedule: weekly, every two weeks or on request.
- Minimum payout amount.
- USDT network and who pays the fee.
- What is paid: only approved conversions, nothing on hold.
Publish these rules in the partner dashboard. Support questions drop noticeably.
Checks before paying
- 1Make sure the balance holds only approved conversions.
- 2Look at advertiser rejections for the period for spikes from a specific partner.
- 3Check the partner's wallet was not changed without confirmation.
- 4Send the payout and keep it in the history.
How to remove manual work
The slowest part is copying amounts from stats to the exchange and back. When payouts go through an exchange API right from the network dashboard, a manager sees the balance, clicks once, and the partner immediately sees the payout in their history.
Summary
A clear schedule, a check before sending and no manual copying of amounts keep partners better than any bonus. Read more in the article on conversion hold.
