}The Get List of Payouts request in the Billwerk+ platform empowers you to retrieve and analyze payouts within your account based on various filters, providing insights into your financial transactions.
POST Create Payout
The Create Payout endpoint in Billwerk+ allows you to initiate the process of transferring funds to your customers through saved Visa or Mastercard-branded cards.
This documentation provides an in-depth guide on how to utilize this feature efficiently and handle various aspects of the process, including response interpretation and error handling.
API Request
HTTP Method: POST
Endpoint:
https://api.reepay.com/v1/payout
Arguments
The endpoint accepts the following arguments:
handle | String • REQUIRED | A unique reference specific to your Billwerk+ account for this payout. It is crucial to ensure that this handle is a maximum of 255 characters and recommended to be kept within 20 characters to avoid truncation on bank statements. |
destination | String • REQUIRED | Specifies the destination for the payout, which can be either an existing payment method for the customer or a card token. |
amount | Integer • REQUIRED | The payout amount, measured in the smallest currency unit. It is mandatory if a charge or invoice does not already exist. |
currency | String • Optional | An optional field to specify the currency for the payout in ISO 4217 three-letter alpha code. If not provided, the account's default currency will be used. |
text | String • Optional | An optional field to include text associated with the payout. |
customer | CreateCustomer • Optional |
|
customer_handle | String • Optional | Customer reference, which is required if the payout does not already exist. This reference must be provided, or a CreateCustomer object must be provided, or the destination must be a payment method reference (e.g., ca_..) identifying the customer. Like the customer field, the customer handle cannot be changed for an existing payout, and the provided handle must match the customer handle for the existing customer. |
text_on_statement | String • Optional | An optional argument that allows you to define the text that will appear on the customer's bank statement. This text should match the regex pattern [\x20-\x7F]. |
acquirer_reference | String • Optional | This is an optional reference for the transaction at the acquirer. It is important to note the following regarding this argument:
|
Response
Upon a successful request, the response is an HTTP 200 status code.
However, it is important to note that this status code relates to the communication with Billwerk+ and their ability to process the request, not necessarily the outcome of the payout.
The actual result of the payout operation should be determined by examining the state parameter.

}State Parameter
state | String | This parameter indicates the current state of the payout. The possible states include:
NoteFor asynchronous payment methods, a processingstate may indicate that the result of the payout will be delivered via a webhook. |
Error Handling
Error handling is a critical aspect of using the Create Payout endpoint, as it involves financial transactions. The documentation provides clear guidance on how to handle different types of errors:
Communication Error (No HTTP Response) or HTTP Server Error (5xx) | In case of a communication error or a server error with a 5xx status code, it is recommended to retry the operation immediately or later. Retrying is crucial as the payout operation may have already gone through, potentially resulting in the movement of money. |
HTTP Client Error (4xx) | If you encounter a 4xx status code, it is essential to check your implementation for any issues. |
Other Non-200 HTTP Response | In the case of a non-200 HTTP response, something may be wrong. It should be handled similarly to a communication error, and if the issue persists, it is advisable to contact our support for assistance. |
state = paid | If the state is paid, the operation is considered successful. |
state = processing | A processing state indicates success for payment types with asynchronous payouts. The result of the refund will be delivered through a webhook. |
error_state = hard_declined | If the error state is hard_declined, it means the refund operation has been declined by the acquirer or issuer. Further attempts with the same arguments are unlikely to succeed. |
error_state = processing_error | A processing_error can occur in certain situations where there is an issue during the processing of the payout. NoteIn such cases, it is essential to investigate the specific error details and take appropriate corrective actions to ensure successful payouts. |
The Create Payout endpoint's error handling mechanism plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and security of financial transactions.
Caution
It is important to monitor, interpret, and respond to errors promptly to ensure a smooth payout process.
