Payouts

Overview

Payout is an additional instrument for merchants that provides a way to make payments to their users (for example, when a merchant sends prize money to a user). The process is executed as follows:

A payout is initiated by a merchant via the Merchant Dashboard.
The payout is pre-approved by an Administrator via the Admin Panel if the configuration is set in the merchant's profile.
The payout request is sent to the defined Operator.
The Operator processes the payout.
The defined User receives the payment.

The process requires only an account/card number of the recipient User. Therefore, there are no personal details available in the Administrative Panel.

The Payouts tabs provide the list of all payout transactions executed on the platform. All transactions are created by merchants and executed by external service providers.

There are two payout tabs in the left sidebar (the interfaces are identical):

Payouts - The tab includes the primary list of payout and the related details (such as sums, status, and providers).
Payouts (pre-approval) - The pre-approval list includes the payouts that are to be approved by an Administrator via the Admin Panel. The pre-approval option can be configured at the moment of a merchant profile creation. Therefore, no payment can be executed without administrative approval providing an additional security level. The pre-approval payouts are also duplicated in the primary transactions list.

Find, review, and edit payout details using the tabs.

Configuring the component

Payout details window provides an overview of a payout payment.

Most of the parameters correspond with the Payouts List, though there are a few additional parameters present.

Parameter	Description
Balance modified	The parameter defines whether the payout amount has been debited from the merchant’s account. If set to No, the payout is executed in a sandbox project and is not meant to debit sums from the merchant’s account. If set to Yes, the payout is executed in an active project and will result in debiting sums from the merchant’s account.
Updated at	The field provides the date when the payout request was changed for the last time (for example, after the status update).
Comment	Additional message provided by an Administrator.
Operator	An Operator to process the payout request. An operator- a licensed payment service provider - is responsible for withdrawal transactions. It is possible for the merchant to have agreements with several Operators to divide incomes and payouts by projects or transaction types.
