Payouts

You can use Cashfree Payouts for a wide range of business use cases. Here is how some of the leading businesses in India are using Payouts:

• Hyperlocal services like Grab and Dunzo use it for on-demand wage payouts.
• E-commerce platforms like Nykaa and Xiaomi use Payouts APIs for instant refunds processing.
• Loan providers like IndiaLends and Cashbean use it for instant loan disbursals.
• Gaming websites like Dream11 and RummyCircle use Payouts for real-time player's winning cashouts.
• Marketplace platforms like Milaap and Tata Sky have integrated Payouts with their products for automated vendor payouts.

Bulk payouts via bank accounts happen by manually adding every beneficiary before transferring or by uploading a spfsheet on the banking portal. Cashfree automates bulk payouts fully via APIs and offers a much simpler alternative.

Unlike banks, where a single error in a payout file can block all the bulk payouts, using Cashfree, even if there are invalid records in a file, valid transfers go through. Reconciliation for failed and invalid transfers is automated so you always know which transfer failed out of hundreds of payouts, and why. At Cashfree, new beneficiary addition and activation is instant.

Cashfree also allows you to send money to any Paytm Wallet, Amazon Pay Wallet, UPI ID or native wallets in addition to bank accounts, even on holidays. Lastly, all of this can be automated and built into your product or internal systems using our powerful Payouts APIs.

Using bulk file uploads or manual transfers requires no technical expertise and is the quickest way to get started. However, if you want to automate the payouts from your product or ERP, APIs should be used. Integrating the API can take a day or two depending on the complexity of integration. Many businesses start by using the bulk file upload or manual transfer option, and gradually automate operations by integrating the API. View developer documentation here.
