How much does PayPal charge for payouts?

PayPal Payouts fees vary by country and currency. Domestic payouts are typically free or very low cost. International payouts may incur a per-transaction fee.

Is this different from the PayPal payment integration?

Yes. The PayPal payment integration tracks incoming customer payments. PayPal Payouts is specifically for sending commission payments to affiliates.
