How do I add a payee — and what verification do they need?
Add a payee in the Payees section and give them a role. Each payee is verified individually before their first payout — the same kind of check your own business went through.
You add a payee in Split payments → Payees → Create, give them a name and a role (such as seller, contractor, or tax), and they become available in your split rules. Before a payee can receive their first payout, they’re verified individually — the same kind of identity and business check your own account went through.
Add a payee
- Go to Split payments → Payees and choose Create.
- Enter their details and pick a role — this is how you organise who’s a seller, a contractor, or a tax recipient in your splits.
- Save. The payee can now be included in split rules.
Verification before the first payout
Splitting money into a payee’s wallet doesn’t require them to be verified — but paying it out to their bank does. Each payee completes an individual verification first. This protects you and them, and it’s why a brand-new payee’s first payout may wait until their check clears.
What a payee needs mirrors what your own business provided: identity for the person, and business details where the payee is a company.
