AUTOMATED PAYOUT
Payday, without the payroll run.
Set thresholds, approvals, and payment methods once. From there, Trace calculates what's owed and sends it — on schedule, every time, with nothing to export by hand.

Custom rules & thresholds
Control exactly when and how partners become eligible for payment.

Multiple payment methods
Let affiliates choose from the payout options you make available.
THE BASICS
What automated payouts actually replace
A payout run is really a set of decisions repeated for every partner, every cycle. Configure the decisions once and Trace makes them for you from then on.
Whether a partner has crossed the minimum payout threshold.
Whether the request needs manual approval or clears automatically.
Which payment method and currency to send it through.
Whether tax documentation is on file before funds move.
WHY PROGRAMS AUTOMATE
Manual payouts don't survive growth.
Eliminate manual work — no more exporting spreadsheets and processing payments one by one.
Reduce errors and disputes over who was owed what, and when.
Scale without bottlenecks as your partner count climbs.
Improve affiliate trust with payments that consistently arrive on time.
