# Payments

<figure><img src="/files/9gJnNqWc4rEt5Hc1oneH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Payments Admin provides a single area for an easy way to pay your [Affiliates](/getting-started/common-topics/affiliates.md) while also allowing you to view and search payments, configure affiliates payments and Pay Via methods.&#x20;

## Bulk Payments

The Bulk Payments section is a useful tool that NATS provides if you wish to add multiple manual invoices, for one or more affiliates, all at the same time.&#x20;

If you have a "dump" list of affiliate usernames and amounts for each manual invoice, you can enter and upload them via this page and tool.

## Dump Formats

Dump Formats in NATS are used to format and display your payment after they've been stored.

## Payout Changes

Payout Changes allow you to create different payouts for different scenarios. This may include changes for specific affiliates, sites, tours, countries, etc.

## Payments Due / Stored

The Payments Due/Stored page displays all of the payments to affiliates that have been stored in your NATS. You can access this page by going to the Payments section and clicking "Payments Due / Stored".

An affiliate payment can be stored by going to an affiliate's payments tab in their [Affiliate Overview](https://tmmwiki.com/index.php/NATS5_Affiliate_Overview).

{% endcontent-ref %}

## Payout Periods

Payout Periods in NATS allow you to set payouts based on when NATS will build payments. &#x20;

## Pay Via Methods

Pay Via Methods are methods of payment that are recognized by NATS and are used to pay affiliates for redirecting traffic to your site.
