Overview

Trolley, founded as Payment Rails and rebranded to Trolley in 2021, is a Toronto-headquartered payouts platform built for the internet economy: marketplaces, creator platforms, ad networks, gaming and streaming companies that pay large numbers of sellers, freelancers or contributors around the world. The platform sends payouts to 210+ countries and territories in 135+ currencies through digital wallets, local and global bank transfers, PayPal and debit cards, with batch and recurring payment automation.

Beyond moving money, Trolley automates payout-adjacent compliance work: US IRS tax compliance for domestic-sourced payouts, EU DAC7 reporting for platform sellers, OECD digital-platform reporting, and DSA/INFORM Act support, alongside automated withholding and year-end tax filing. Recipients onboard themselves through embedded forms with identity and business verification, and a centralized portal handles ongoing recipient communication and fraud/risk screening.

Trolley's Sync product connects the platform to ERP and accounting systems including QuickBooks, Xero and NetSuite (beta), automating the flow of payout and recipient data to eliminate manual entry, alongside integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Shopify and a Zapier connector for broader workflow automation. Trolley reports SOC 2 Type II compliance and counts customers including Envato, Epic Games, Canva and Soundcloud.
