Mass Pay
Replace checks with instant email payments!
PayPal lets you avoid the slow, tedious
process of writing and disbursing checks to
large numbers of people. And Mass Pay is
inexpensive: a fee of just 2% of the payment
amount, up to a $1 cap, will be added to each
payment.
How it works:
1. All you need is the recipient’s email
address and the payment amount.
Create a simple tab-delimited text file
that lists the email address in the first
column and the payment amount in the
second column. An optional third column
allows you to list a unique identifier
for each recipient for tracking and
reconciliation purposes.
2. Click on the “Mass Pay” link in the
footer and then click on “Make a Mass
Payment” on the Overview page. You
will be prompted to upload your Mass
Payment file and customize the email
notification that is sent to your recipients.
Click “Continue” to confirm your
payment, and then click “Send Money” to
complete your transaction.
3. Your recipients can claim their money by
clicking on a link within their payment
email notification.
Note: There must be sufficient funds in your
account to cover the Mass Payments and
applicable fees. You cannot use a credit card
for this service.
