Affiliates: DIY tracking but how to payout?

Hey everyone, we have a few products in development and given our lean ethos we try to find every way possible to avoid unnecessary expenses.

Looking at doing an affiliate system DIY.

I'm thinking to implement it but wondering how the payout process would work.

He uses just paypal but I have a feeling that wouldn't cover all our affiliates.

I see stripe connect serves the US for this use case but a lot of our affiliate interest comes from outside US.

Would integrating paypal + stripe connect + some sort of wire transfer api (if such a thing exists) be the correct play?

What about tax implications? Thanks!
