Hello,
a user of our application cannot sync his settlements when trying to get settlements by id.
The errors look like that :
{“status_code”:500,“type”:“internal_server_error”,“message”:“Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND connect.vip.sjc3b.square”,“request_id”:“3ZDX9V22WMBR8YSCZXBY12E3434N”}
Do you know what kind of error it is and how to resolve it ?
Thanks
What’s the application ID and the location_id that’s returning this error.
application ID : bcyVPjLx7yWuN49MPEgbbw
location ID : 05Q4X3BFJPTDN
Thanks for providing the credentials. I took a look at our logs and I’m not seeing that error. That endpoint doesn’t take a request_id. What is the request that’s being sent to Square that’s returning this error?
after getting the list of settlements,
it’s a batch to retrieve the settlements by id
(FYI I tried also with the application we use for testing : app ID : K6B28yo6zeWi1SYCmg14WQ using our user’s credentials, same error)
a first POST to https://connect.squareup.com/v1/batch
with POST CONTENT the lists of GET requests like that :
{
“requests”: [
{
“method”: “GET”,
“relative_path”: “/v1/me/settlements/3ZDX9V22WMBR8YSCZXBY12E3434N”,
“access_token”: ACCESS_TOKEN,
“request_id”: “3ZDX9V22WMBR8YSCZXBY12E3434N”
}
]
}
Batching and v1/me are retired with Square. You should be calling the Settlements API with the settlement_id directly. 
Do you plan to have a doc for migrating to the new API for settlements like payments and refunds ?
Yes, we will definitely have a migration guide when the replacement comes out for Settlements API.
Hi all! We’re excited to unveil the v2/payouts API in beta! This API will replace the v1/settlements API, which will be retired in 2023.You can use the Payouts API to automatically reconcile sellers’ bank deposits or debits with their payments taken with Square in production and sandbox. You can retrieve a list of payouts or individual payouts and compare their amounts with the deposit or debit amounts on the bank statement. You can also list all of the payout entries associated with a payout so you can reconcile at a transaction level in your accounting system.
To get started visit the Payouts API documentation page. Feel free to ask questions or provide feedback here!
Hello,
the Payouts API introduces new types for the payout entries, and some I don’t know how to manage them (expense or receipt). Can you help me with them please ? :
those I guess are receipts :
those I guess are expenses :
those I guess depends on the amount (positive or negative) :
those I don’t know :
Don’t hesitate to tell me if I make mistakes and what are the correct categories (expenses, receipts or both depending on the amount)
Thank you for your help
The payout types with the Payouts API are:

These are, generally, proportional to the merchant’s sales but can be issued for other reasons related to the MCA.SQUARE_CAPITAL_REVERSED_PAYMENT - A capital merchant cash advance (MCA) assessment refund. These are, generally, proportional to the merchant’s refunds but can be issued for other reasons related to the MCA.SUBSCRIPTION_FEE - A fee charged for subscription to a Square product.SUBSCRIPTION_FEE_PAID_REFUND - A Square subscription fee that has been refunded.SUBSCRIPTION_FEE_REFUND - The refund of a previously charged Square product subscription fee.TAX_ON_FEE - The tax paid on fee amounts.THIRD_PARTY_FEE - Fees collected by a third-party platform.THIRD_PARTY_FEE_REFUND - Refunded fees from a third-party platform.
not really helping since I already knew that list.
But with a colleague of mine, we managed to determine if a payout entry type should be considered as an expense, a receipt or both (depending on the amount sign)
But, one is troublesome : Escheatment : we don’t know how escheatment works, so we don’t know how to treat it. Please can you provide an explanation how it works and if it should be considered an expense or a receipt ?
thank you

When you say “receipt” does that mean that you’re receiving funds vs an expense where funds would be exiting the account?
yes, exactly, that’s what I mean
