Introduction

A Payout is the process of sending funds from a Merchant's Yugo balance to a Recipient, from creation through completion.

How It Works

Every Payout follows the same core flow:

1. Merchant creates a Payout Intent via the API
2. Yugo performs the necessary exchanges, if applicable
3. Yugo sends the funds to the Recipient's destination
4. Yugo notifies the Merchant of the Payout's status changes

The specific behavior depends on the chosen payment method.

Server-to-server only

At the moment, only the server-to-server flow is supported: the Merchant supplies all payout details when creating the Payout Intent.

The Create Payout request has a required return_url, and the response may include a redirect_url. These are not yet implemented and should be ignored for now. They are reserved for a future hosted flow, where the Merchant will be able to delegate collecting some Recipient details (such as the destination bank account or wallet) to Yugo.
