# Create Payout

Requesting a payout consists of 2 steps

1. **Create** <--- in this page
2. Commit / Cancel

## Create Payout

Make a [`POST /payouts`](/reference/#tag/payout/POST/payouts) request:

* cURL

  ```curl
  curl --request POST \
    --url 'https://sandbox.unipaas.com/platform/payouts' \
    --header 'Accept: application/json' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer <PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY>' \
    --data-raw '{
      "eWalletId": "123456",
      "payoutOptionId": "654321",
      "payoutMethod": "",
      "currency": "GBP"
     }'
  ```

In the response, you'll get the created [`Payout object`](/docs/pay-out-funds-overview/#the-payout-object).

## Create Vendor Payout

Make a [`POST /vendors/{vendorId}/payouts`](/reference/#tag/vendor/POST/vendors/%7BvendorId%7D/payouts) request:

* cURL

  ```curl
  curl --request POST \
    --url 'https://sandbox.unipaas.com/platform/vendors/{vendorId}/payouts' \
    --header 'Accept: application/json' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer <PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY>' \
    --data-raw '{
      "eWalletId": "123456",
      "payoutOptionId": "654321",
      "payoutMethod": "",
      "currency": "GBP"
     }'
  ```

In the response, you'll get the created [`Payout object`](/docs/pay-out-funds-overview/#the-payout-object).

A created payout should be canceled or committed

If a payout is left pending, payout funds will be locked for other payout requests until the original payout is canceled or committed to.
