Embedded Finance · Embedded Payouts

Pay your platform's sellers, creators and partners — from your own product.

Technology partners embed the Payout API so a platform can pay the people on it — to bank accounts and UPI IDs, one at a time or in bulk — straight from its own systems.

  • Bank accounts and UPI IDs
  • Single or bulk
  • Payout webhooks
Paying a seller from your platform

    'mode'           => 'upi',

Overview

What embedded payouts mean on Paynancial.

Embedded payouts let a platform pay its users — sellers, creators, drivers, partners — from inside its own product. On Paynancial, technology partners embed the Payout API, which sends funds to bank accounts and UPI IDs with saved beneficiaries, idempotency keys and payout webhooks, singly or in bulk. An embedded payouts offering beyond the Payouts product is not described on this site.

Marketplaces pay sellers, creator platforms pay creators, gig platforms pay workers. When those payouts happen inside the platform — triggered by an order, a milestone or a pay cycle — instead of from a separate bank portal, that is embedded payouts.

On Paynancial it runs on Payouts. Your platform saves each recipient as a beneficiary, calls the Payout API when money is due, and follows every payout by webhook — with an idempotency key so a retry never pays anyone twice. Paying many recipients at once uses Bulk Payouts.

Availability: Embedded Payouts is not described as a separate Paynancial product. This page covers the published Payouts capability, embedded through the Payout API.

Good practice

Getting it right.

    One idempotency key per payout

    Build it from your own payout record ID, so a retry never pays twice.

  2. 02
    Show status to recipients

    Use the payout webhook to show sellers and creators exactly where their money is.

  3. 03
    Verify before first payout

    Check a new beneficiary's details before sending a large first payment.
