The easiest way is probably mass payments with paypal. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_batch-payment-ove...

That looks good. It would be like an affiliate program.

I don't know why I have an aversion to paypal, though. I just want "stripe for payments". I don't think it exists, though.

Paypal isn't ideal for getting money, but for giving money, it doesn't get any easier. Mostly everyone has a paypal account, so adding a paypal email address field to their profile allows for easy scripting of the payment file build process.
