Managing how payouts and refunds are handled

When configuring a token there are two settings for managing how an entity is paid.

The first is payout which manages how a seller, agent or beneficiary is paid out.

This field can only be modified if the token contains the following information:

• An ID Number ID or an Organisation Registration Number (ID number if a Sole Prop)
• Banking details

The following options are available (Weekly, Bi-monthly and Monthly pay-outs occur on a Friday):

• ACCOUNT - Pay out funds to the escrow account for use in another transaction to be manually withdrawn at a later stage.
• IMMEDIATE - Pay out funds as soon as possible
• DAILY - Pay out funds the next work day
• WEEKLY - Pay out funds once a week
• BIMONTHLY - Pay out funds twice a per month
• MONTHLY - Pay out funds once a month

The second field is refund which manages how a buyer is refunded.

The following options are available:

• ACCOUNT - Pay out funds to the escrow account for use in another transaction to be manually withdrawn at a later stage.
• IMMEDIATE - Pay out funds as soon as possible

Updating the payout and refund options are done in a similar way:

mutation tokenUpdate {
    tokenUpdate(id: "abc...xyz", input: {
        settings: {
            payout: {
                interval: WEEKLY
                refund: IMMEDIATE
            },
        }
    }) {
        id
        name
        settings {
            payout {
                interval
                refund
            }
        }
    }
}

Requesting a withdrawal

If funds have either been paid out or refunded to the escrow account. A withdrawal request can be initiated and will result in the requested value to be paid out in the next payment run.

{info} After a withdrawal has been successfully requested the balance reported will be the amount less the requested value. i.e. if the token has a balance of R1000 and a withdrawal of R700 is made the balance will show the remaining funds which would be R300.

A withdrawal can be requested as follows and will return true if request was successful:

mutation tokenAccountWithdraw {
    tokenAccountWithdraw(id: "abc...xyz", value: 1000)
}
