Understanding the workflow of a payout
Payouts go through a series of statuses in the payout workflow.
Status | Immutable? | Description |
---|---|---|
pending | No | The initial state of a payout. Payouts will remain in this state until a crypto address to send the payout to has been input, or the payout request is cancelled. |
processing | No | After a crypto address has been provided, payouts transition into a processing state whilst the payout is being processed. |
complete | Yes | Once funds have been paid out, the payout will transition to complete. |
cancelled | Yes | If the payout is cancelled or fails, the state will transition to cancelled and the funds will remain in the merchant account. |
Once you finalise a payout, please ensure no more API calls will be made to duplicate the withdrawal - transactions on the blockchain are final and cannot be recalled.
