This feature is available only when your total available balance is less than $500. If your available balance exceeds $500, use the existing [payout processes](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/withdraw-funds-to-your-bank-account.md) instead. impact.com is unable to process Anytime Withdrawals if your total balance exceeds this limit. {% endhint %} ## Eligibility requirements The Anytime PayPal functionality will only appear when all the following rules are satisfied: * A PayPal account is linked via OAuth * At least one successful standard withdrawal has been completed to the linked PayPal account * No restricted billing countries * No active Qualified To Pay (QTP) blocks * No payouts are currently in progress for your account If any of these rules fail, Anytime PayPal will be hidden or disabled, along with a message explaining why. Learn more about [Payment Requirements for Partners](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payment-requirements-explained-for-partners.md). ## How Anytime PayPal works Anytime PayPal lets you bypass the [standard twice-weekly](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/select-how-often-you-get-paid-as-a-partner.md) payment runs and get your earnings when you need it. Here's how it works: {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Link your PayPal account [Connect your PayPal account](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/withdraw-funds-to-your-paypal-account.md) through our secure OAuth flow. You'll see an interstitial screen prompting you to do this if you haven't already. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Access the Anytime PayPal dashboard Once your PayPal account is linked and you've received at least one successful standard payout to that account, the Anytime PayPal option becomes available. 1. From the top navigation bar, select **your earnings amount** **→** [**Withdraw Balance**](https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/finance/fr/anytime-withdrawal/ui.ihtml)**.** 2. Under the *Payment Type* section, **PayPal** is currently the default and is pre-selected. * While Venmo and EFT options are visible, they are currently in development and will be available soon. 3. Under *Payment Method*, ensure your PayPal account is connected to the correct impact.com account. 4. Select **Withdraw** to receive your funds into your PayPal account instantly. Your withdrawal amount is pre-populated with your full available balance, and reflects your *Available Balance* minus the *Total Processing Fee*. {% hint style="danger" %} **Important:** Due to how earnings are attributed, partial payouts are not currently supported. At this time, you can only withdraw your full available balance. {% endhint %}
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Confirm your withdrawal 1. After selecting **Withdraw**, a confirmation modal will appear, summarizing the payout amount, the instant fee, and the amount received. 2. Select **Confirm** to submit your withdrawal. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Track the status After confirming your withdrawal, you'll see a progress screen with real-time updates on your payout status. * **Success:** Funds are in your PayPal account! * **Rejection:** Funds are returned to your wallet.
{% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## FAQs
What are the fees for using Anytime PayPal? There is a fixed Instant Fee of $2 plus 2% of the withdrawal amount (capped at a maximum total fee of $20) that is displayed before you confirm your withdrawal. This fee covers the cost of processing your payment instantly.
Are there any limits on how much I can withdraw? Yes, there is a maximum withdrawal limit. The maximum withdrawal amount is $500. Anytime PayPal only supports full balance withdrawals. The amount field is pre-populated with the full balance and cannot be edited.
What is the Daily Funding Buffer? To ensure the availability of Anytime PayPal, there's a daily funding buffer. If this buffer is reached, the feature will be temporarily unavailable for all partners. A message will be displayed indicating that the limit has been reached and to try again later.
What's the difference between Lightning Pay and Anytime PayPal? Lightning Pay and Anytime PayPal accelerate different parts of the payout journey: * Lightning Pay speeds up the movement of funds from the brand's funding account to your account. It doesn't change the final payout to your bank account, which follows the standard Tuesday/Thursday schedule. * Anytime PayPal accelerates the funds into your bank account from your impact.com account. When you choose *Pay me now*, funds are sent to your PayPal account within minutes, bypassing the traditional payout schedule entirely. Lightning Pay gets the earnings to your impact.com account faster, while Anytime PayPal gets it from your impact.com account to your bank account (via PayPal) faster.
