Pay partners with Tremendous
Prefund your own Tremendous account and pay approved commissions in one click. Money goes straight from your account to partners — AFFN never holds it.
Why your own account?
Your balance stays in your name, with your own receipts and statements for your accountant. AFFN only tells Tremendous who to pay and how much, based on commissions you've approved. Prefer paying another way? Use Mark paid or the PayPal export on your Payouts page instead.
1. Create a Tremendous account
- 1Sign up at tremendous.com with your business email.
- 2Standard payouts (bank, PayPal, Venmo) are free for most businesses — check Tremendous's current pricing for your account.
2. Add funds
Open Balance in Tremendous and add money by bank transfer (ACH), wire or card. Bank transfers usually take 1–3 business days. Keep enough to cover what you owe — AFFN shows a warning if it runs low.
3. Create a campaign
Under Campaigns, create one called e.g. "Affiliate payouts" and pick the options partners can choose from (bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo, prepaid card). Copy its Campaign ID.
4. Create an API key
Go to Team settings → Developers and create an API key named "AFFN". Copy it — you'll only see it once.
Want to try it first without real money? Make a free account on the Tremendous sandbox and use that key with Test mode turned on.
5. Connect it in AFFN
- 1In AFFN, open Payouts Owed and click Connect Tremendous.
- 2Paste your API key and Campaign ID. Tick Test mode if it's a sandbox key.
- 3Your balance appears next to the total you owe. Click Pay via Tremendous next to a partner to send exactly their approved amount.
- 4The partner gets an email to choose how they're paid, and the payment is logged automatically.
