Audit Payout Transactions
Learn how to use the Payabli API to track and audit payout transactions
Payabli’s Pay Out functionality allows you to send and monetize payments to your vendors. This guide aims to help you track and audit payout transactions so you can build seamless integrations with your app.
Query the payout
First, query the payout details endpoint: /MoneyOut/details/{transId}. You need the response data from this request to audit the payout.
Understanding the response
There are a few main areas of the response that are useful for understanding a payout transaction:
TransEvent and status
Events related to the transaction are described in the Events
array, as TransEvent
objects. There, you can find information about the payout’s current and historical statuses.
Payment method
You can use the PaymentMethod
field in the vendor object to understand which method the vendor selected to be paid with.
Other information
You can get more information about the specific check or vCard issued in a payout. These details appear in a field associated with the method: CardToken
,CheckNumber
or CheckData
.
The next few sections go over these topics in depth.
TransEvents and payout status
The response includes various TransEvent
values within the Events
array in the response. These TransEvents
represent the stages and status of the payout transaction.
Here are some examples of events objects that you will see in the Events
array.
The TransEvents
for payouts are listed in the following table.
TransEvent | Description | Maps To |
