PayPal
payouts that leave on their day

Connect a PayPal Payouts key and its balance becomes an account you pay people from. After the pilot, an approved payout inside the mandate leaves PayPal by itself on its date. Above the ceiling, to a new payee, or under a rule that asks for someone else, it waits for the button.

What lands in the book

The balance is an account
read from PayPal every hour

The figure PayPal states
Read about once an hour. Without PayPal's Transaction search permission it says Balance unknown, never a guess.
A returned payout books itself
Unclaimed after about a month, or rejected: the refund lands in the same category, so the books net out.
Exactly the booked amount
A currency that cannot carry the number is refused, not rounded, so PayPal and the books never disagree.
Apart from your earnings
The read only PayPal connection for money coming in stays separate. This one sends.

Who presses last

By itself on its date
the button for everything else

  • Nine creator payouts inside the Partners budgetLeft PayPal by themselves on the 1st
  • A new payee, Jonah OkaforWaits: the first payment to a new payee
  • $2,300 to one creatorAbove $2,000 a payment: waits for the button
  • A rule that asks someone else to releaseKeeps the Pay via PayPal button
Before the pilot
An approved payout waits with Pay via PayPal, as it does today. Keep it so as long as you like.
After the pilot
It leaves on its date through the same code and the same key as the button. Only who pressed differs.
The lowest ceiling wins
The mandate's limit per payment, the $2,000 brake or the ceiling you set when connecting, whichever is lower.
One fence at PayPal
PayPal has no list of trusted payees. The balance you keep there is the only limit on its side, so keep it to the month.

Paying by itself
Off until the owner says
Paying by itself needs the owner's consent with a fresh confirmation. Without it, every payout waits for the button.
A second person, if you asked
Where loosening waits for a second person, the consent waits for an admin or another owner too.
Taken back at once
Anyone who manages accounts can withdraw it, and nothing waits.
Two mistakes, back to the button
A payout returned or reversed counts. Two in 30 days send payouts back to the button and start a new pilot.

On autopilot

What goes by itself
and what still waits for you

Goes by itself

  • A bill or a payout inside its budget in the mandate
  • From Airwallex, PayPal or the account inside Orla
  • An agent's card or API spend inside its cap

Waits for you

  • A new payee, and bank details that changed
  • Anything past a budget or a limit
  • Every payment from Mercury, Slash, a Safe or a wallet you sign

The brakes above both

  • $2,000 a payment and $10,000 a day until you change them
  • Loosening a limit waits 24 to 72 hours
  • One pause stops every payment at once

Every brake on Safety

Questions

PayPal and Orla
the short answers

What if PayPal does not answer clearly?

The payout keeps its key, so trying again either finds the send PayPal already has or makes it once. Do not pay the person another way in the meantime.

Can I keep pressing the button myself?

Yes. Without the owner's consent nothing leaves PayPal by itself, and every approved payout waits for Pay via PayPal.

What does it cost?

0.25% of what the autopilot moves, at most $25 a payment, and PayPal's own fee at cost. Nothing from Orla on a payout a person presses.

What happens to a payout nobody claims?

PayPal returns it after about a month. Orla notices, tells the owner and the admins, and books the refund, so the payee simply was not paid.
