A Payout
object is created when you receive funds from Stripe, or when you initiate a payout to either a bank account or debit card of a connected Stripe account. You can retrieve individual payouts, and list all payouts. Payouts are made on varying schedules, depending on your country and industry.

To send funds to your own bank account, create a new payout object. Your Stripe balance must cover the payout amount. If it doesn’t, you receive an “Insufficient Funds” error.
If your API key is in test mode, money won’t actually be sent, though every other action occurs as if you’re in live mode.
If you create a manual payout on a Stripe account that uses multiple payment source types, you need to specify the source type balance that the payout draws from. The balance object details available and pending amounts by source type.
