As a business owner, you may come across situations wherein you have to make payouts to multiple vendors or multiple payouts to vendor(s). You can use the Bulk Payouts feature to create multiple payouts in such cases. Apart from processing payouts, you can perform the following tasks:

* Make a payout to an existing [fund account](/docs/x/fund-accounts).
* Create a new [contact and fund account](/docs/x/fund-accounts#create-a-contact-with-fund-account) to make a payout.

Alternatively, you can also [create contacts and fund accounts in bulk](/docs/x/contacts/bulk-uploads).
