Later Influence™ (formerly Mavrck) offers multiple integrations to create and fulfill incentives without leaving the platform: PayPal and Stripe for cash payments and Tango Card for digital gift cards.

With Tango Card, you have the choice of using a Later Influence-owned account or connecting with your own account. With PayPal and Stripe, you can use a Later Influence-owned account. Either way, a balance of available funds must be set in the platform.

This article provides details and step-by-step instructions to manage available funds. For a general overview of integration functionality, please see Incentive Integrations.

Available Funds Overview

The balance of available funds is the maximum amount that can be paid to influencers from a connected payment account. 

Adding funds to the platform does not withdraw funds from the payment account. Each transaction is processed and withdrawn from your payment account individually.

Your balance of available funds is displayed on the Transactions ledger. If you have multiple payment accounts connected, use the Payment Account filter to view and manage the available balance for each account separately.

Available funds for a Later Influence-owned account

When using a Later Influence-owned payment account, your balance of available funds is managed by the Later Influence finance department. Your CSM will provide you with an Incentive Request Order Form (IROF) and all necessary information.

Through this process, funds are provided to Later Influence, then credited to your program in the platform. You can fulfill incentives using all of your available funds.

Transaction fees

No fees are incurred against your available funds when using a Later Influence-owned account.

Available funds for your own account (Tango Card only)

When using your own payment account, your balance of available funds is set by an authorized user on your team, who is determined during the integration setup process.

When you add funds to the platform, they are not immediately withdrawn from your payment account. As individual payments are fulfilled, the funds are withdrawn from your account in individual transactions.

The available balance represents the budget you intend to spend, prohibiting users from fulfilling payments in excess of that amount. To fulfill payments, you must also have a sufficient balance in your payment account. We recommend that you bookmark funds added to Later Influence in your external finance tools to ensure that they remain available in the payment account.

Authorized users

Only authorized users are enabled to increase or decrease your balance of available funds.

If you'd like to authorize additional users to manage your available funds, please reach out to your CSM or log a request with the Later Influence Support team at the following link: Submit a request

Transaction fees

There are no fees associated with Tango Card at this time.

Managing funds for your own account

To fulfill any payments, you must add funds to the available balance in the platform.

In some cases, you may also wish to decrease the balance of available funds. Note that this will not return any funds to your payment account, as they have not been withdrawn yet, but it will prohibit users from fulfilling payments in excess of the new balance you set.

1. Open the Incentives tab from the main menu.
2. Open the Transactions sub-tab in the upper right corner.
3. Click Add Transaction* in the upper right corner.
