Beneficiaries

In order to make successful transfer requests, you need to add the beneficiary beforehand.

It is essential to read the guide on adding beneficiaries as the requirements vary depending on the country/currency.

It is important to note that payout can only be initiated to a beneficiary whose status is SUCCESS .

After adding the beneficiary, we index the beneficiary and return a webhook beneficiary.status.changed

After adding a beneficiary, the beneficiary status can be any of the following:

Text
