What is the Payment and Payout management?

Payments & Payout management defines the flow for working with Payments and Payouts to track all related operations. Our system enables seamless monitoring, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and control over the both Payment and Payout process.

In that respect, we single out payment operation tracking on three levels: Payment/Payout Request, Payment/Payout Commit, and Payment/Payout Transaction.

1. Manage Payment & Payout Requests

Payment/Payout Request is is the initial step in the process that includes all the necessary details required to process the payment and payout and signifies the procedure initiation. We provide different options and a rich interface to help you manage your Payment/Payout Requests. In the flow below, you can look at various options for tracking the data and corresponding details.

2. Manage Payment & Payout Commits

Payment or Payout Commit is the operation that reflects the Customer’s payment/payout action and contains the Method itself and the Method fields selected by the Customer. This step ensures the payment is confirmed and the funds are allocated. One Request might have more than one Commits depending on the particular situation and payment peculiarities.

3. Manage Payment & Payout Transactions

Transaction is an entity reflected by a payment/payout on the Provider side. Its main task is to control the payment/payout process: the sequence of commands on the Provider, status transitions, and processing amounts.

To cut it short, the Transaction is the final state of the payment/payout process, capturing the data flow and completing the payment/payout lifecycle.
