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 by the payer, payouts transition into a processing state.
`complete`	Yes	Once the transaction has been registered on the blockchain and has a hash, 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.
`expired`	Yes	The payment expired before the customer inserted the wallet details.

❗️
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.
