Global payouts for creator and influencer platforms

The flexible way to pay creators & influencers worldwide

Trolley lets you automate and scale your payout infrastructure. First, securely onboard and verify creators in 210+ regions. Next, pay creators via in-demand methods, like local bank-to-bank transfers. Then, end your year strong with reporting and tax compliance – all in one platform.

Creator platforms like Canva made the switch to Trolley for:

Customizable workflows. Flexible APIs. Multi-entity support.

It's hard to grow your creator and influencer network with a rigid payment system

You can’t send local bank transfers

Major creator hubs are often located in emerging markets. But you’re stuck – you’re either:

  • Sending expensive wire transfers.
  • Excluding these regions entirely.
  • Leaving you missing out on top talent.

Creators are frustrated by limits and delays

Limiting how your creators and influencers receive funds can lead to churn. For example:

  • Some platforms restrict creators to only PayPal or Payoneer.
  • Unfavorable exchange rates can reduce their take-home earnings.

Manual tax forms = admin headache

Without the right system, your finance team has to:

  • Chase down W-9s, W-8s, and other required data from creators.
  • Keep up with global reporting rules – from IRS forms, to DAC7, to OECD model rules.
  • Risk managing sensitive data internally.
