# Automatic Payouts (Expert)

## Adding a Cron Job for Payouts <a href="#statistics-and-payouts-addingacronjobforpayouts" id="statistics-and-payouts-addingacronjobforpayouts"></a>

In order to automate Payouts, you can use Cron Jobs on your server/site.&#x20;

First, you need to edit the wp-config.php file and paste the following line of code anywhere above the line that says "That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging":

```
define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
```

After that, you need to add a cron job from the cron tab in your hosting.
