Payment Methods
Payout Links
Payout Links so you can pay your recipients in a click.
- Generate a payout link through the dashboard, API, or CSV upload, customized with your personal branding. All you need is the amount you want to send.
- Send it to your recipient however you prefer: email, SMS, WhatsApp, or paste into Slack.
- Recipient claims the link and chooses which payout rail they want to withdraw to. Dots collects W-9/W-8BEN if needed and runs instant KYC behind the scenes.
- Branded emails, webhook events, and a tracking page keep everyone — from your team to your application to the recipient — updated.
Use Payout Links for loyalty rewards, contractor invoices, live-stream payouts, creator royalties, and more.
Customizable Process
Choose the payout process that fits your needs.
- Dashboard send for one-offs & urgent payments: type an amount, press Send.
- CSV upload for weekly or monthly batch runs: drag, drop, done.
- Payouts API: integrate with the Dots API so payouts are automatically sent when certain conditions are met.
- Branded payout links that let recipients self-serve: perfect for one-time gigs, rewards, and live-stream tips.

We love Dots so much we're trying to add it to more stuff! They're incredibly responsive and add requested features quickly.
Dots for us has been phenomenal. I had to dedicate at least three to 6 hours a week just to process the day to day payments to drivers. After implementing Dots, it's a 1 hour a week thing.
Dots integration has increased our creator signup conversion rate by 31% for a few reasons. Being able to onboard users after their first payment was just game changing for us.
Dots frees us to focus on people — coaching chefs on menu creativity instead of chasing payments and bank cutoffs.
Dots has proven an invaluable partner in fraud prevention. Dots Control has given us a more universal picture of each recipient and allows us to operationalize more quality control restrictions procedures.
With Dots, processing payments is 2 to 3 times quicker than with Stripe. This task used to take half of a day when I was using Stripe, and now it normally takes about an hour each day. It's a meaningful change for us to reclaim that bandwidth.
