LianLian Global's platform clients can now pay creators and sellers through PayPal or Venmo, which could mean fewer forms and no bank details to hand over.
If you get paid by an online platform, your next payment could land in PayPal or Venmo instead of a bank account. LianLian Global, a cross-border payments company, said Thursday, Oct. 22, that its social commerce, marketplace and eCommerce clients can now send payouts to PayPal accounts worldwide and Venmo accounts in the United States.
The tools come from a new partnership between LianLian Global and PayPal, and they run on PayPal Payouts. There are three options.
According to the release, senders no longer need checks and postage. They also do not have to collect routing and bank account numbers from the people they pay. That covers creators, influencers, developers, independent contractors and independent sellers.
The release does not say what the payouts cost or how fast they arrive. It also does not name which platforms will offer the option. The choice sits with each LianLian Global client, so creators and sellers will need to watch for it on the platforms they already use.
Platforms that use LianLian Global can now pay out through PayPal or Venmo, but fees, speed and which platforms will offer it are not yet clear.
