How to create a single payout via UI

Payouts are used to send funds to other wallets or create payments to customers. In this article, we will explain how to create a single payout.

Before creating a payout, make sure that your account has enough balance for the payout amount and network fee. If payout confirmation is enabled for your user, prepare your authenticator app before the final confirmation step.

  1. Go to the "Payouts" tab and click the "Create a payout" button.
  1. Select "Single payout" and specify the amount that you want to transfer.
  1. You can send the payment instantly or select a later date. Use one of the presets or choose a custom date.
  1. Fill in the "Description" field. This field is required and helps your team understand the purpose of the payment. The description is shown only internally and is not displayed to the payment receiver.
  1. Add a new wallet address and save it to presets, or choose one from the previously saved addresses.
  1. Review the payout details before creating the payout. Check the currency, network, recipient address, amount, fee, and description.
  1. If 2FA payout confirmation is enabled for your user, Calypso Pay opens the Confirm with 2FA modal after you click Create payout. Enter the one-time code from your authenticator app and click Continue.

If the code is invalid, the modal stays open and shows an error. The payout is not created, and you can enter a new code and try again. If you close the modal, you return to the summary step with the payout details preserved.

2FA confirmation protects the current user's sensitive action. It is different from payout approval by another company user. If your account also uses payout approvals, the payout may still require approval from another team member after the 2FA step.

  1. After creating a payout, you will be taken to a page with general information about it.

Then you can check all your created payments, their status, and other information in the "Payments" tab. Using status filters or additional filters, you can easily find the payout that you need.

Select the payment you need. In the next window, you can find additional payment information such as transaction hash, customer address, and status lifetime changes.
