Overview

Payout entries are the individual transactions that are part of each payout. Chargebacks, refunds, and disputes appear independently as payout entries. If a seller is paying for Square SaaS products, the subscription fee payment appears as a payout entry as well.

You can order the payout entries in ascending or descending order. You cannot, however, retrieve a specific payout entry.

Similar to the ListPayouts endpoint, the ListPayoutEntries endpoint supports pagination.
