Third Party Payable Fee

Because you will never have the bank account information for Third Party Payables, you will always have to send the Payment Activation link when paying these entities out. Please refer to any of the above scenarios where no bank account information is available.

Agent Savings Account


The scenario: Your agent has a Payload bank account setup in their profile but wants to send a portion of their commissions to another bank account. Because your agent’s Payload bank account is set up via their profile, there’s no way to toggle any additional bank accounts setup in that area. 

!!Important Please read before proceeding: Third party paying from Payload CAN NOT BE REVERSED, so please make sure everything is correct before you finalize a payment.


The current workaround to handle this scenario is as follows:
  1. Add a profile type contact to your Brokerage's People page [0:00 - 1:57 in vid]
  2. Create a Payable Type Deduction specifically for the savings fee [1:58 - 2:50 in vid]
  3. The payee must be the contact you created above 

  1. Add the Savings Payable Deduction to your Agent's deal [3:00 - 3:13 in vid]

  1. Adjust, if applicable, the newly added deduction [3:14 - 3:34]

  1. Click Pay Directly [3:34 - 3:43 in vid]
Because this is a Third Party payout the recipient will be auto-selected 

  1. Click Send Payment Activation
  2. Confirmation will be populated in the deal


Your agent will be sent an email from payload, see what the email will look like here


Any other payouts via Payload will be handled in the Payout Commission page, for more information read about that here
