How do Payouts from the API relate to Transactions in the dashboard?

Questions
1

Hi team,

I’m implementing the Payouts API at the moment so we can reconcile these in our finance system.

For each Payout in the API, we get:

  • id in the form po_33d35fca-59c7-42d9-a8ef-e22f03bbe450
  • end_to_end_id in the form: T3ATS9XG370XV39

However, when I look at the list of Transfers in the dashboard it has:

  • a Transfer # in the form: 3Z6F9NZJJSRX1DKBQNQZQJX8V7EX

Ideally we would store the Transfer # in the finance system as a narration that our Finance team can use to reference what is in the interface.

Can you help me understand how I can go about giving them a useful narration in this instance?

Unfortunately, the ID that’s returned by the API isn’t an ID that can be used to reference the transfer in the Seller Dashboard. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi! I find myself doing something quite similar and since this post is 6 years old, is there any update on this topic?

I need to find which transaction (order or payment) is related to a payout.

Thanks!!

Unfortunately, there isn’t any update on this and if you’d like to get all payments associated to an payout you’ll need to use our APIs to do so. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you so much Bryan!

Right now my logic is as follows:

  • list_locations to retrieve a list of all available locations for each account.
  • list_payouts using the retrieved locations and the pagination cursor to fetch all payouts.

Which endpoint should I use now to relate these payouts to their corresponding transactions?

Thanks!!

You’ll then take the payout_id and call ListPayoutEntries for each payout to get all the transactions for each payout. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you!! That’s just what I needed!
