Authorize and capture payout

View as MarkdownOpen in Claude

Authorizes a payout and captures it in the same request, returning the capture result. Use this endpoint when you need the capture outcome synchronously: it does the same work as calling POST /MoneyOut/authorize followed by GET /MoneyOut/capture/{referenceId}, in a single call.

Risk and fraud review runs at both the authorize and capture stages, exactly as it does for the two-call flow.

Payabli ignores the autoCapture field in the request body, since this endpoint always captures inline.

If the capture fails, the payout stays authorized. Retry the capture with GET /MoneyOut/capture/{referenceId} using the referenceId from the error response rather than resubmitting, which would create a second payout. See the Manage payouts guide for details.

Authentication

AuthorizationBearer

Bearer authentication of the form Bearer <token>, where token is your auth token.

OR
requestTokenstring

Long-lived API token sent in the requestToken header. See API token authentication.

Headers

idempotencyKeystringOptional

Optional but recommended A unique ID that you can include to prevent duplicating objects or transactions in the case that a request is sent more than once. This key isn’t generated in Payabli, you must generate it yourself. This key persists for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, you can reuse the key if needed.

Query parameters

sameDayACHbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

When true, Payabli authorizes the payout for same-day ACH processing instead of standard ACH. Same-day ACH must be enabled for the paypoint, otherwise the authorization fails with a 400 response and responseCode 3492. Only ACH payouts honor this flag. Wire and RTP payouts ignore it.

Because this endpoint captures immediately, pass autoConvertSameDayAch with a value of true to fall back to standard ACH if the capture runs after the same-day ACH cutoff.

doNotCreateBillsbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

When true, Payabli won’t automatically create a bill for this payout transaction.

allowDuplicatedBillsbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

When true, the payout bypasses the requirement for unique bills, identified by vendor invoice number. This allows you to make more than one payout for a bill, like a split payment.

updateVendorPaymentMethodbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

When true, Payabli updates the vendor’s stored default payment method to the method used in this payout.

autoConvertSameDayAchbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

Controls what happens to a payout authorized with sameDayACH set to true when the capture runs after the same-day ACH cutoff. When true, Payabli converts the payout to a standard ACH payment and captures it. When false, the capture is declined.

This parameter has no effect on payouts that weren’t authorized for same-day ACH.

autoCapturebooleanOptional

When true, Payabli captures the transaction asynchronously after a successful authorization. The authorization request returns once the transaction is authorized; capture happens later, and the response doesn’t confirm capture. To confirm capture succeeded, listen for the payout_transaction_approvedcaptured webhook event.

When false, you must manually capture the transaction after a successful authorization. Defaults to false.
