Collabs adding a paypal email to an affiliate contact record

Topic summary

Request to edit a PayPal payout email on an affiliate’s contact card in Shopify Collabs. The poster cannot find any way to update this field and asks whether the feature exists; if not, they request it be added.

Rationale: affiliates don’t want to manage their own payout details, and store owners should be able to administer all affiliate-related information. The current restriction (or poor discoverability) is viewed as unnecessary lock-down.

Key points:

  • Need for store-owner ability to update an affiliate’s PayPal email used for payouts.
  • Concern about feature discoverability if it does exist.
  • Preference for centralized management by the merchant rather than burdening affiliates.

Status/outcome: no answer or workaround provided; no confirmation from Shopify. The thread remains open with an outstanding request for either instructions to access the feature or a product enhancement to enable it.

How can I update a PayPal email address under an affiliates contact card? If this feature exists, it is really hard to find. If it doesn’t exist… please add it. Affiliates don’t want to be bothered with this. Anything related to the management of affiliates should be able to be administered by the store owner. There is no good reason for locking this down. Thanks.
