Callback

In the PAYCO payment method, the payment platform returns the payout result in a callback. For the information about the callback structure, see Callbacks in Gate.

The following is an example of a callback body with the information about a successfully completed payout.

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.

Analysis of payments results

As with other payment methods Monetix offers, when using this method, you have several options to analyze the information about payments and operations.

You can load and analyze all the necessary information in Dashboard (dash-light.trxhost.com), for instance you can use the analytic panels in the Analytics section for this purpose.

Also, you can export the information for further analysis by using third party analytical tools. The following options are available:

  • Dashboard allows you to download reports in CSV format by using the tools in the Reports section. You can perform export as a one-time or regular download of data to your local computer.
  • Data API allows you to have payment information exported in JSON format and delivered to a URL you specify. The payment information is exported by means of sending requests to the /operations/get endpoint.

If you have any further questions regarding payment data analysis, contact Monetix technical support.
