Adding a payment provider
Adding PayPal
- Log into your account
- Click on Commissions in the top menu bar
- Click "Setup withdrawals"
- In the drawer that opens, select "PayPal"
- Enter your PayPal email address twice to confirm the correct email is added
- Click "Save"
- To confirm the email update, we will send you an email to the email address on file for the account (note that this is not the PayPal email just entered, but is the email found on your Settings page).
Check your email and spam for an email with the subject "Confirm PartnerStack Paypal email update". This link expires after 3 hours. Once you click it, you will be logged out of all sessions automatically and need to log back into your partner account, where you will get a message if the PayPal email was saved successfully.
If you do not click the link within 3 hours, you will need to re-enter the PayPal email and trigger a new email to be sent.
If the PayPal verification link is loading to a blank page, please ensure that your browser allows 3rd party cookies and try again.
Adding Stripe
Stripe allows you to withdraw your commissions to your bank account.
- Log into your account
- Click on Commissions in the top menu bar
- Click "Connect provider"
- Select "Connect to Stripe"
- Log into your existing Stripe account, or create a new account
- If you have a US bank account but haven't created a Stripe account, you can do so by clicking "No, create a new account".

Adding a bank account for direct deposit

Once your banking details have been added, your account number will be redacted to show only the last four digits
Ensure when entering your banking details:
