You can set up a payee (or several) for your business by accessing the ​Payee’s​ tab, located within the ​Business Admin widget. From here, users who are assigned the Manage Payees​ permission can add, edit, and delete payees. 

Important:​ ​Although your business has added a payee, the payee will not be eligible to be sent any payments until a payment method is added to the payee. See the ​Add a Payment Method section below for more details.
