How payouts work

A payout is the outbound flow — money leaving the platform, the inverse of a charge. A single endpoint handles every payment rail; the type_payout field selects which one, and each type requires its matching destination object.

Always confirm via webhook

The synchronous response returns the initial status. A payout typically moves from issued to realized asynchronously. Set webhook_url and treat the webhook as the source of truth for the final outcome. See Payout webhook.

Get payout →Retrieve the current status and details of a payout.List payouts →List and filter the payouts of a wallet.Payout webhook →Receive a notification when the payout status changes.
