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. 🙂 ---

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. 🙂 ---

Thank you so much Bryan! Right now my logic is as follows: - [list\_locations](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/locations-api/list-locations) to retrieve a list of all available locations for each account. - [list\_payouts](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/payouts-api/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](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/payouts-api/list-payout-entries) for each payout to get all the transactions for each payout. 🙂 ---

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