Karat Payments is a built-in payout tool that helps you send money to creators, contractors, and partners — all from your Karat account. Instead of juggling multiple tools for payments, taxes, and tracking, Karat Payments gives you a single place to manage everything.

​
Why use Karat Payments?

Paying creators at scale is often complex. Most businesses today have to:
  • Use multiple tools to send payments
  • Track payments manually
  • Handle tax forms separately
  • Manage domestic and international payouts differently
Karat Payments simplifies all of this. With Karat Payments, you can:
  • Send payments to hundreds or thousands of recipients
  • Pay both domestically and internationally
  • Automatically collect and manage tax information
  • Track payment status in real time
  • Keep all payment records in one place

​
What can you do with Karat Payments?

Karat Payments is designed for businesses that regularly send payouts. You can:
  • Send one-time or bulk payments
  • Upload a CSV to pay multiple people at once
  • Track payment progress and status
  • Manage recipient records and tax documents
  • Record payments made outside of Karat for reporting

​
How it works (high level)

  1. Add funds to your Karat account
  2. Create a payment (individual or bulk)
  3. Recipients receive a notification
  4. Recipients onboard and select how they want to be paid
  5. Payments are processed and tracked automatically
