# Audit payout transactions with the API > Track every payout with comprehensive audit trails. Query payout details, reconcile transactions, and maintain complete visibility into vendor payments and transfer statuses 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}](/developers/api-reference/moneyout/get-details-for-a-processed-payout-transaction). You need the response data from this request to audit the payout. ```json maxLines=10 { "IdOut": 3089, "CreatedAt": "2024-03-07T18:15:57.34", "Comments": "Test payout", "Vendor": { "VendorNumber":

Understand the response There are several main areas of the response that are useful for understanding a payout transaction: 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. You can use the `PaymentMethod` field in the vendor object to understand which method the vendor selected to be paid with. 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 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. ```json Authorized example { "TransEvent": "Authorized", "EventData": null, "EventTime": "2024-03-07T18:15:57.47" }, ``` ```json Captured example maxLines=10 // This example has been heavily truncated to show // only the relevant parts of the reponse { "TransEvent": "Captured", "EventData": { "id": "f4b9e2f4-957a-49c0-bb24-4a869929bfe9", "group": { "id": "e711b011-bbaf-4241-9681-6e628d00e0eb", "name": "10-20240307-CUST123-3089", "status": "Waiting Funds", "approved": false, "totalAmount": "1000.50", "custId": "CUST123", "dateCreated": "2024-03-07T23:17:48Z", "dateModified": "2024-03-07T23:17:48Z", "links": [...] }, "custId": "CUST123", "paymentNumber": "10-3089", "vendor": { "id": "83e31970-25f2-4bb3-baaa-0e5ef63f1051", "custId": "CUST123", "vendorNumber": "QA-vendor-1709853355", "vendorTaxId": "123456787", "vendorName1": "LAKELAND", "vendorPhone": "18636700248", "status": "Pending", "paymentType": "Check", "contactEmail": "philaret@philsfloors.com", "statusReason": "Payment Waiting", "address": {...}, "customerVendorAccountNumber": "testingAccount1", "dateCreated": "2024-03-07T23:17:48Z", "dateModified": "2024-03-07T23:17:48Z", "links": [...] }, "remitAddress": {...}, ...

The `TransEvent` value provides insight into the current and historical stages of the payout process, helping you understand the transaction status. ### Determining payment method The `PaymentMethod` field in the `Vendor` object in the response shows the payment method selected by the vendor for the payout. Initially, this field may show "managed/pending," and it changes as the payout is processed. The possible values for `PaymentMethod` are: * `vCard` * `ach` * `check` ```json ACH {13} // This example has been truncated to show the most relevant parts { "IdOut": 3089, "CreatedAt": "2024-03-07T18:15:57.34", "Comments": "Test payout", "Vendor": { "VendorNumber": "QA-vendor-1709853355", "Name1": "Lakeland", "Name2": "Electric", "EIN": "XXXX6789", ... "BillingData": null, "PaymentMethod": "ach", ... } ... } ``` ```json Check {13} // This example has been truncated to show the most relevant parts { "IdOut": 3089, "CreatedAt": "2024-03-07T18:15:57.34", "Comments": "Test payout", "Vendor": { "VendorNumber": "QA-vendor-1709853355", "Name1": "Lakeland", "Name2": "Electric", "EIN": "XXXX6789", ... "BillingData": null, "PaymentMethod": "check", ... }, ... } ``` ```json vCard {13} // This example has been truncated to show the most relevant parts { "IdOut": 3089, "CreatedAt": "2024-03-07T18:15:57.34", "Comments": "Test payout", "Vendor": { "VendorNumber": "QA-vendor-1709853355", "Name1": "Lakeland", "Name2": "Electric", "EIN": "XXXX6789", ... "BillingData": null, "PaymentMethod": "vcard", ... } ... } ``` ### Get more payout details In certain cases, you may need to retrieve more details about the payout, such as the check information or vCard details. You can find details in the parameters associated with the payment method: * `CardToken`: The token for the vCard issued for the payout * `CheckNumber`: The check number for the paper check issued for the payout * `CheckData`: The check image Base64-encoded as `fContent`. Use a Base64 decoder to view the image ```json CheckNumber {10} // Example truncated to show most relevant part { "IdOut": 3089, "CreatedAt": "2024-03-07T18:15:57.34", "Comments": "Test payout", "Vendor": {...}, ... "CardToken": null, "CheckNumber": "656768", "CheckData": null, "PaymentId": "10-3089", ... } ``` ```json CardToken {9} // Example truncated to show most relevant part { "IdOut": 3089, "CreatedAt": "2024-03-07T18:15:57.34", "Comments": "Test payout", "Vendor": {...}, ...
