Update Payout Periods

If your platform provides merchants with the ability to update their own Payout period, then your support tool is not required to have this functionality, though it is still highly recommended.

Custom Method

On merchant account displays, provide information about the merchant's payout method.

Example custom interface for your employees to update a merchant's payout period.

Regardless of how your UI looks, it should allow the agent to select one of the following options:

• Daily (except if their payout method is paper check)
• Weekly
• Monthly

On submit, use the selected option to build a request like this:

curl -X POST \
  --url 'https://stage-api.wepay.com/accounts/{merchant-account-id}' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json'\
  -H 'App-Id: {your-app-id}'\
  -H 'App-Token: {your-app-token}'\
  -H 'Api-Version: 3.0'\
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{
  "payout": {
    "currencies": {
      "{USD/CAD}": {
        "period": "{send-enum-based-on-UI-selection}"
      }
    }
  }
}'
