How to Configure Affiliate Payout Methods in GoHighLevel
By Marnix Geerkens. Published 2025-09-30. Updated 2026-06-02.
GoHighLevel's Affiliate Manager lets you control which payout methods, bank transfer or PayPal, your affiliates can see when they log in to the client portal. Turning a method off hides it from affiliates entirely. The setting is found under Affiliate Manager, then Settings, then Affiliate Portal Settings, and takes about a minute to update.

Changes take effect immediately after saving.
Steps
Open Affiliate Portal Settings
Go to Marketing on the left, select Affiliate Manager, click Settings at the top, then choose Affiliate Portal Settings.
Toggle payout methods on or off
