Payouts

You can send payouts to any individuals to their

• bank accounts
• wallets

Getting started

To start making payouts, sign an agreement with Smart Glocal, go through the KYC process with Smart Glocal, and complete the integration via this API. Where to start?

Prices and preconditions

The prices for payouts are stated in your agreement with Smart Glocal. You can discuss them with your manager. The limits vary depending on the payout method (wallet or bank_account).

To start making payouts, make sure you topped up your prefunding balance with Smart Glocal. You need to monitor (using the wallet/balance method) your prefunding balance independently to make sure it is enough to keep payouts working. Please keep in mind that a bank wire takes 1 to 3 business days. If the total of the payouts you have ordered using this API exceeds your prefunding balance, Smart Glocal will not be able to complete them.

Payout refunds

Payouts are non-refundable.

A payout you sent to a bank account may be refunded if the recipient bank did not credit it to the recipient's account for some reason even if the payout’s success was confirmed. In this case, such refunds are processed manually on our side, and you will get a refund as soon as they are reconciled. There is no automatic notification about such refunds.

How to make a payout

All API operations are carried out within a payment session`.

To create a payout, complete the following steps:

1. Create a payment session sending a session/create request.

   Alternatively, you can use the session/init/payout method. In this case, specify all the payout parameters right away and skip the next step.

2. Send a session/start/payout request to start the payout.

3. Wait for a ready_to_confirm webhook. When you receive it, it means that Smart Glocal is ready to make the payout and is waiting for your confirmation.

4. Send a session/confirm request or a session/cancel request to confirm or cancel the operation.

5. Wait for a payment_finished webhook containing the result of the payout. If the status is succeeded, the payout was successful. To learn more about the payout statuses, see here.
