Payout

When performing a payout, the customer initiates a payout and then just waits for the funds to be credited to their account. The customer themself doesn't participate in the payout processing procedure.

Payout by using Dashboard

To make a payout through Dashboard, the merchant sends a request and receives a notification with the request processing result. There are two ways to initiate payouts through Dashboard:
  • single payout—you specify the currency and amount for a payout available for this method and fill in all the fields required for the selected payment method on the Dashboard pages.
  • as a part of a mass payment—all the parameters are specified in a CSV file. Refer to the Payouts by using Gate section for the parameters required by your payment method.

Information about completed payouts is available for viewing in the Payments and Manual Payments sections of Dashboard.

For more information about payout processing by using Dashboard, see Performing payouts.
