Your account tracks referrals as soon as it is verified, but it cannot be paid until there is a PayPal address on it. Partners with no PayPal address are left out of the payout run entirely. Nothing is lost while the field is empty. The balance simply waits.
Step 1: Open the Account page
Choose Account in the left navigation. The first card is Personal Information. Your sign-in Email Address sits at the top of it, shown but not editable.
Step 2: Fill in all four fields
You need First Name, Last Name, Country and PayPal Email. All four are required and the form will not save with any of them blank. Use the address your PayPal account actually receives money on, not a forwarding alias.
Step 3: Confirm the PayPal address with the emailed code
Press Save Changes. Setting a payout address needs a code, so we email you a 6-digit one and open Confirm change of PayPal email. Type the code and press Confirm. It is valid for 10 minutes and it is tied to the address you typed, so edit the address afterwards and you need a new code.
Step 4: Check the Payouts page
Open Payouts. If the yellow Attention: PayPal Email Required banner is gone, the address is on file and you are in the next run. If it is still there, the save did not go through.
What to do next
Read How and when you get paid so you know which balance is swept into which run.
Changing the address later works the same way. See Change your payout email or delete your account.
Keep the address current. A payout to a closed PayPal account fails and has to be reissued by hand.
