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.

Parameters

  • amountintegerRequired

    A positive integer in cents representing how much to payout.

  • currencyenumRequired

    Three-letter ISO currency code, in lowercase. Must be a supported currency.

  • descriptionstring

    An arbitrary string attached to the object. Often useful for displaying to users.

  • metadataobject

    Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

  • statement_descriptorstring

    A string that displays on the recipient’s bank or card statement (up to 22 characters). A statement_descriptor that’s longer than 22 characters return an error. Most banks truncate this information and display it inconsistently. Some banks might not display it at all.

More parameters

  • destinationstring

  • methodstring

  • source_typestring

Returns

Returns a payout object if no initial errors are present during the payout creation (invalid routing number, insufficient funds, and so on). We initially mark the status of the payout object as pending.
