Rapyd makes it easy to make a disbursement to a card. Common use cases include:

Payout to an employee or worker's card
Payout to a card for use of credit or benefits

🚧
PCI Certification
Only clients with PCI-DSS certification can handle personal identifying information for cards. This method is available to merchants who have signed a special agreement with Rapyd.

Your home improvement platform connects customers with home service professionals such as plumbers, electricians, and locksmiths. You collect from the customers and disburse the funds to the professionals, minus your fees.

Your automated accounts system makes the disbursements from a company wallet. A wallet is created as described in Creating a Rapyd Wallet.

One of the locksmiths finishes a job, and your accounts system transfers a 250 USD (U.S. Dollars) payout to his card.

Card Payout Workflow

Finding the specific card payout methods you'll use and the corresponding required fields that beneficiaries fill out is described under How it Works.

Your accounts system asks Rapyd to process the payout.
Rapyd processes the payout.
The website back end receives confirmation from Rapyd that the payout was completed.

How It Works

👍
Prerequisites
To run the examples of this use case, you must create the following ID in your own sandbox:

ewallet - Run Create Wallet for the eWallet of the Home Improvement platform. Use the ID you get in the response.

Finding Payout Method Types

Find payout method types to use. See List Payout Method Types.

Finding Required Fields for the Payout Method Type

Find the required fields for each payout method type. See Get Payout Required Fields.

👍
Tip
In the Get Payout Required Fields response, beneficiary_required_fields defines required fields for a beneficiary object.
Use Validate Beneficiary to check the beneficiary fields before you request a payout. See Validating Beneficiary Details.

Requesting a Payout

Your home improvement business is the payout sender and the locksmith is the beneficiary who receives the funds.

To disburse the funds to the locksmith's card, you ask Rapyd to process the payout.

For that, you'll use Create Payout with the following parameters:

Body Parameter	Description
ewallet	Enter the wallet 'id' that you received when you created the company wallet in your sandbox. For purposes of this use case lesson, we are using ewallet_e22fe4e337e26734a96d13a241063a75, which is the wallet ID we created in our sandbox.
payout_amount	Enter 250 as the amount received by the beneficiary.
payout_method_type	Enter us_debit_visa_card as the payout method type.
sender_currency	Enter USD as the code for US dollars, the sender's currency.
sender_country	Enter US as the code for the United States, the sender's country.
beneficiary_country	Enter US as the code for the United States, the beneficiary's country.
payout_currency	Enter USD as the code for US dollars, the currency received by the beneficiary.
sender_entity_type	Enter company as the type of entity for the sender.
beneficiary_entity_type	Enter individual as the type of entity for the beneficiary.
beneficiary	Enter a `beneficiary` object that contains the required fields listed in the response to 'Get Payout Required Fields'. For this example, enter: `email` - [email protected] `card_number` - 4111111111111111 `card_expiration_month` - 10 `card_expiration_year` - 20 `first_name` - Test `last_name` - Employee
description	Enter Payout to card as the description of the payout transaction.
