PayPal
PayPal Payouts requires that funds exist in the sender's account prior to initiating a payout. Before issuing a payout in Roster, you will need to transfer money from your bank account into your PayPal balance. The balance will need to cover the total amount of the payments, as well as PayPal's fee.
You will also need to have integrated with PayPal Payouts in the Roster Integrations, which is located in Brand Settings. Click here for a guide on getting connected.
