Expand Influencer and Creator Marketing Campaigns Globally with Dots Payouts

Q: How quickly can influencers and creators get paid?

Most creator payouts are instant through PayPal, Venmo, RTP, UPI (India), PIX (Brazil), and SEPA Instant (Europe). Bank transfers typically arrive within 1-2 business days, and in markets with local real-time rails, international payouts can also clear instantly. Dots' smart routing ensures your creators get paid in seconds - not weeks.

Q: What payment methods can I offer to creators worldwide?

Dots supports 300+ payment rails across 190+ countries, including PayPal, Venmo, ACH, RTP, M-PESA, Bacs, UPI, and local bank rails in every major region. Creators simply select their preferred payout method during onboarding - no manual setup or extra integrations required.

Q: How does Dots handle international creator payments?

Dots makes cross-border creator payouts instant, local, and compliant. We automatically manage currency conversion, KYC verification, and tax form collection, while creators receive their funds in local currency through the rails they already use. You track everything from one unified dashboard - no spreadsheets or separate tools.

Q: What tax forms are required for influencer and creator payouts?

Dots handles tax compliance automatically. We collect W-9s from U.S. creators and W-8BENs from international creators during onboarding, verify TIN/EIN details with the IRS, and generate and e-file 1099s at year-end for payments over $600. Learn more about Dots tax.

Q: Can I white-label the payout experience for my brand or platform?

Yes - you can fully brand the payout experience using Dots' embeddable components or APIs. Creators see your logo, colors, and domain throughout onboarding, payout selection, and receipt - while Dots powers the secure infrastructure behind the scenes.

Q: How does Dots handle multiple brands or agencies under one account?

Dots supports multi-entity configurations so you can manage multiple brands, regions, or agencies in one place. Each brand can have its own tax workflow, payout rail mix, and fund routing, while your finance team monitors everything from a single dashboard.

Q: What happens if a creator payout fails or is delayed?

Dots automatically detects and retries failed payments using intelligent routing across alternative rails. Both your team and the creator are instantly notified, and our 24/7 global support ensures issues are resolved quickly - no waiting, no frustration.

Q: How long does integration take for brands or creator platforms?

Most teams launch in less than a week using Dots' REST API. You can test every payout scenario in our sandbox environment, then go live with hands-on help from our integration specialists.

Creators fuel your brand's reach. Keep them inspired with one fast API and 24/7 payee support so that everything from onboarding to year-end tax filings is handled automatically.

We love Dots so much we're trying to add it to more stuff! They're incredibly responsive and add requested features quickly.

Brett Kushner

COO, Don't Tell Comedy

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.

Daniel Willson

Director of Operations, Table22

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.

Clayton Rannard

Co-founder, Collabstr

Dots frees us to focus on people — coaching chefs on menu creativity instead of chasing payments and bank cutoffs.

Sabah Drabu

Co-founder, CookinGenie

Hear it from them, not us.

Dots pays out 100,000s of users every week.

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.

Amanda Brink

Executive Director, Empower Project

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.
