Make a payout

Get started

Making a payout as a Partner account follows the same approach as requesting a payout as a Merchant account, but uses separate endpoints and additional parameters. Start by familiarising yourself with payouts, including how to request and get status updates for payouts.

Once you're familiar with the process, you can recreate the steps with some minor differences.

You'll need to generate a partner access token. Learn how to do this in the Partner portal here.

Partner payout requests

Create a PR. Send an HTTP POST request to the relevant endpoint + /api/v1/partners/payouts/ including the header Authorization: Bearer <payment_token>.

In addition to the standard PR parameters, you must include an additional parameter merchantId.
