Integration

Two ways to connect.

Build it into your product, or skip the engineering and send us a file. Both routes end the same way: your creators get paid, fully compliant.

Option A

Connect the API

Trigger payouts straight from your platform. Create creators, send payout batches and check payment status programmatically. Payouts become part of your product, not a monthly chore.

POST /v1/payout-batches { "payouts": [ { "creator_id": "crt_8412", "amount": 1850.00, "currency": "USD" }, { "creator_id": "crt_2207", "amount": 2400.00, "currency": "EUR" } ] }
Option B

Upload a CSV

No development needed. At month end, export your payout list and upload it to Zexel. We validate every row, flag anything missing and send the whole batch with one click.

How it works

Three steps to pay.

You keep the relationship with your creators. We take care of identity verification, tax paperwork and paying each creator.

STEP 01

Invite your
creators.

Notify your creators so they sign up and verify a Zexel Pay account. Onboarding and KYC are on us: you never collect a single tax document.

STEP 02

Create a payout batch.

Send the batch via the API or upload your CSV. We validate amounts, currencies and creators before paying.

STEP 03

You pay once.

You get one invoice and make one payment. We pay each creator and apply any withholding due, and currency exchange is handled through regulated payment providers.

What we handle
Taxes and compliance✓
Currency exchange✓
Single invoice✓
Already verified
They get paid right away

Creators with a verified Zexel Pay account receive the money in their local currency by bank transfer or PayPal, with the invoice generated automatically.

Not registered yet
We onboard them for you

Anyone not yet on Zexel gets an email to create and verify their account. Once verified, their pending payout is released, without your team chasing anyone.

Who we work with

Built for platforms that pay creators.

If you pay creators directly and want to hand off the operational and tax workload, this is for you.

Influencer marketing platforms

Campaign platforms paying hundreds of influencers a month across different countries and tax regimes.

Affiliate platforms

Performance networks with long tails of publishers and affiliates, each with a different payout threshold.

UGC platforms

Marketplaces commissioning user-generated content at high volume, with fast turnarounds and small payouts.

Clipping and short-form networks

Clipper programs paying per view or per deliverable, often to creators without a registered company.

Creator marketplaces

Two-sided platforms where brands buy and creators deliver, with you in the middle of the money flow.

Anyone paying creators directly

If your payouts today are a spreadsheet and a bank portal, we replace them with a single integration.

Why Zexel

Payouts plus a creator agency.

A payment processor only moves the money. Zexel acts as your creator agency: it contracts each creator, pays them and takes on the tax side, so your team doesn't have to build the compliance layer.

Your creators stop emailing you.

Our support team answers payment status and tax questions directly, in the creator's language, so those tickets never reach your inbox.

FAQ

Questions from platforms.

What product and finance teams ask before integrating.

01Do we need to build an integration?

Only if you want payouts inside your product. The API gives you programmatic batches and webhooks, but many platforms start with monthly CSV uploads, with no engineering work, and move to the API later.

02What about creators who aren't registered yet?

Include them in the batch anyway. They get an email to create and verify their Zexel Pay account, and their payout is released as soon as verification is complete. Your team doesn't have to chase anyone.

03Can creators without a company get paid?

Yes. Our KYC is designed for the creator economy: individual creators without a registered company, freelancers and registered companies all verify through the same flow, and we apply the right tax treatment to each.

04How does accounting work on our side?

You get one invoice per batch and make a single payment. Instead of reconciling hundreds of individual transfers and collecting creator invoices, your books show a single supplier line.

05Who is the creator's legal counterparty: us or Zexel?

Zexel. We operate as a creator agency: Zexel contracts the creator directly, the creator invoices us, not you, and we pay them, taking on full tax responsibility (withholdings, reporting...). Your team receives a single consolidated invoice per batch. This keeps you out of the contractual chain with each individual creator, and that is what sets us apart from a simple payment processor.

06How long do creators take to get paid?

Verified creators usually get paid within 0 to 2 business days after the batch is released, by bank transfer or PayPal, in their local currency.
