Merchant API
Payout Intents

Create a payout intent

Create a payout intent. Idempotent on the merchant reference: a repeat POST with the same `merchant_reference` returns the original intent rather than creating a duplicate. The key's environment stamps the intent.

Authorization

apiKey
AuthorizationBasic <token>

Merchant API key pair. Send as Authorization: Basic base64(publicKey:secretKey) — username is the public key (pk_live_… / pk_test_…), password is the secret key (sk_live_… / sk_test_…). The public key prefix determines the environment of every order created by the request — there is no body, query, or header override.

Get a payout intent GET

Fetch a payout intent by id. Scoped to the authenticating merchant and the key's stamped environment; intents that belong to another merchant or environment return 404 indistinguishably from unknown ids.

Cancel a payout intent POST

Cancel a payout intent that is still awaiting approval. Only valid while the intent is in `requires_approval`; once approved, the intent has moved into processing and cannot be cancelled through the public API.
