Approve Merchant Payout

Approve a staged request created by a sub-merchant with Initiate Merchant Payout. Approval creates the final wallet withdrawal for Khaime admin review. Authenticate with your marketplace operator Partner API key via the X-API-Key header. The key’s environment (sandbox or live) determines which payout requests are visible.

This endpoint does not accept a request body. The marketplace operator cannot change the amount, currency, payout method, or payment gateway during approval. It does not contact the payment gateway.

Approval changes the request from pending to approved and creates a payout_pending wallet transaction. Khaime admin must approve that withdrawal before gateway processing begins.

Path Parameters

number

required

The business ID of the sub-merchant whose payout should be approved.

string

required

The payout reference returned by the initiate payout endpoint.
