Trolley is a payouts platform targeting marketplaces, creator platforms, affiliate networks, gig economy apps, and royalty-paying music services, with coverage across 210+ countries and territories. Its REST API handles recipient onboarding with KYC/KYB, batch payments, invoice generation, and tax form collection, with SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, and C#.
