# How to Create Partner Payouts in Kiflo: All Methods

> Create payouts from the Partners tab, the Payouts tab, or a partner's Rewards tab — or automate payout creation on a monthly or quarterly schedule.

Before you can pay a partner, you need to create a payout that bundles the rewards you want to settle. Kiflo gives you three manual entry points for creating payouts, as well as an automatic payout creation feature that runs on a schedule so you never have to remember to trigger payments. Every newly created payout starts with a **Draft** status and is not visible to the partner until you validate it.

## Method 1: From the Partners tab

Use this method when you want to create payouts for one or more partners at the same time without navigating to each partner's individual page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Partners tab">
    In the admin portal, navigate to the **Partners** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select one or more partners">
    Use the checkboxes on the left of each partner row to select the partners you want to pay. You can select multiple partners at once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create Payout">
    Once at least one partner is selected, a **Create Payout** button appears at the top of the list. Click it to open the payout creation form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the payout fields">
    Complete the following fields to define which rewards to include:

    | Field                           | Description                                                                |
    | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Include rewards with status** | Filter by reward status — typically **Pending** or **Accepted**.           |
    | **Include rewards with type**   | Filter by reward type (e.g., Cash, Coupon).                                |
    | **Currency**                    | Select the currency for this payout. Each payout covers one currency only. |
    | **From / To**                   | Set the date range to include only rewards generated within that period.   |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the payout">
    Click **Create**. Kiflo builds the payout and redirects you to the **Payouts** tab where the new payout appears with a **Draft** status.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  When you select multiple partners, Kiflo creates one payout per partner (per currency and reward type combination). You are redirected to the Payouts tab where all newly created payouts are listed.
</Note>

## Method 2: From the Payouts tab

Use this method when you are already working in the Payouts tab and want to initiate a new payout without switching views.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Payouts tab">
    Navigate to the **Payouts** tab in the admin portal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create Payout">
    Click the **Create Payout** button at the top of the page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the payout fields">
    Complete the following fields:

    | Field                           | Description                                                      |
    | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **For partner**                 | Select the partner this payout is for.                           |
    | **Include rewards with status** | Filter by reward status — typically **Pending** or **Accepted**. |
    | **Include rewards with type**   | Filter by reward type (e.g., Cash, Coupon).                      |
    | **Currency**                    | Select the currency for this payout.                             |
    | **From / To**                   | Define the date range to scope which rewards are included.       |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the payout">
    Click **Create**. The payout is created with a **Draft** status and appears in the Payouts tab.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Method 3: From a specific partner's page

Use this method when you are already reviewing a specific partner's activity and want to create their payout without leaving their profile.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Partners tab and select a partner">
    Navigate to the **Partners** tab and click on the specific partner you want to create a payout for.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to the Rewards tab">
    Inside the partner's profile, click the **Rewards** tab to see all rewards earned by that partner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create Payout">
    Click the **Create Payout** button on the Rewards tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the payout fields">
    Complete the fields to define the scope of the payout:

    | Field                           | Description                                                      |
    | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Include rewards with status** | Filter by reward status — typically **Pending** or **Accepted**. |
    | **Include rewards with type**   | Filter by reward type (e.g., Cash, Coupon).                      |
    | **Currency**                    | Select the currency for this payout.                             |
    | **From / To**                   | Define the date range to scope which rewards are included.       |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the payout">
    Click **Create**. Kiflo creates the payout and takes you to the **Payouts** tab where it appears with a **Draft** status.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Automatic payout creation

Instead of creating payouts manually every cycle, you can configure Kiflo to create them automatically at regular intervals. Kiflo only creates payouts for partners who have pending rewards — partners with no rewards to pay are skipped automatically.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Account Settings">
    Click the **top-right menu** and select **Account**, or navigate to the **Payouts** tab and click **Configure**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Payouts settings">
    In the Account page, click **Payouts** in the left-hand menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable automatic payout creation">
    Scroll to the **Automatic payout creation** section and toggle on **Create payouts automatically**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a creation schedule">
    Select one of the following options:

    * **Every month** — Kiflo creates payouts on the 1st of each month for all partners with pending rewards.
    * **Every quarter** — Kiflo creates payouts on the 1st of each calendar quarter (January, April, July, October).
    * **When pending rewards reach a threshold** — Kiflo creates a payout for a partner as soon as their total pending rewards equal or exceed the amount you define.

    For the monthly and quarterly options, you can also set an **optional threshold**: Kiflo will only create a payout at the scheduled interval if the partner's pending rewards meet or exceed that minimum amount.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The pending rewards threshold is always evaluated in your **main account currency**. If multi-currency is enabled, Kiflo converts each partner's reward amounts into the main currency before comparing against the threshold.
</Tip>

<Note>
  If a partner has pending rewards in multiple currencies or of multiple reward types, Kiflo creates **separate payouts** for each currency and type combination — even when using automatic creation.
</Note>

Once payouts are created — automatically or manually — proceed to the validation and payment workflow.
