Stages
When creating a payout, it goes through the following stages:
- Pending: Awaiting confirmation from the manager (if this setting is enabled). If this setting is not present, this stage is skipped, and the payout moves to the "In progress" status.
- In progress: Transactions being processed by the system, blockchain, or awaiting approval from a verifying manager.
- Completed: All executed transactions.
- Cancelled: Payouts that have been canceled, either by the creator or the verifying manager.
- Failed: Payouts that did not go through due to technical reasons.
Use cases
Single payout
As a company, we need to make a one-time payment to a contractor, for example, as compensation for traffic.
Mass payout
- As an accountant, I need to make salary payments to several employees. I want to do this in one action, rather than making individual payouts.
- As a merchant, I need to make reward payments to players. It would be convenient for me to gather all the addresses in a registry and upload it to the system so that payments are processed automatically.
