Introduction

API Endpoint

https://api.paymentrails.com/v1/

Trolley’ API allows businesses to send payments to their recipients globally. Recipients can be either an individual or a business, such as freelance workers, contractors, affiliates, developers, designers, hosts, drivers, or even business suppliers around the world.

Our mission is to give more choice of payout methods to merchants world wide. What works for someone in San Francisco, London or Melbourne, might not be the best option for someone else in Jakarta, Nairobi or Mumbai. PayPal doesn’t support all countries, in fact, 97.5% of the population doesn’t have a PayPal account, and over 2 billion people don’t have a bank account. So clearly multiple payout options are needed to support a global business. That is why we plan to support every major payout method, so your users have choice of what works best for them.

Trolley currently supports direct payments to via bank transfer (in 220+ countries) and PayPal. In the near future, we will also support payments by mobile money, cash pick-up, paper checks and to existing debit or credit cards.

If you have an existing e-wallet service you use to make payouts (like PayPal), you can plug-in your business’ PayPal or other e-wallet account to our platform, and push payments out through your existing account with no additional fees from us. This allows you to have one consolidated payout platform to handle all your payouts, through one API integration. It also means that you can start offering direct-to-bank account payouts to your users, while offering your users a seamless transition from your current payout options.

We will always be looking to add the fastest, least expensive, most popular and most convenient payout methods that people want to use. So your business only ever has to integrate with one partner (us), and we will ensure you and your users always get access to the latest and greatest payout methods available on the market, at the most competitive rates.

Please review our API Terms of Use.

Before you start

Here is a quick summary of some common terms we use:

Term	ID # Format	Description
Recipient	R-1a2B3c4D5e6F7g8H9i0J1k	A Recipient is the individual or business that you need to send a payment to.
Payment	P-1a2B3c4D5e6F7g8H9i0J1k	A Payment is an individual payout to a recipient.
Batch	B-1a2B3c4D5e6F7g8H9i0J1k	A Batch is a group of payments.
Transfer	T-1a2B3c4D5e6F7g8H9i0J1k	A Transfer is a deposit (or withdrawal) you make to your Trolley account from your company bank account, to fund your balance before sending payments.

Interacting with the API

Making requests

The Trolley API follows RESTful design principles. We use the following HTTP verbs:

GET - Read resources
POST - Create new resources
PATCH - Update an existing resource
DELETE - Remove resources

When making requests, arguments can be passed as params or JSON with correct Content-Type header of application/json.

Success Codes

The Trolley API uses the following successful response codes:

Success Code	Meaning
200	Ok – Request processed successfully

Error Codes

Example API response for object not found

{
  "ok": false,
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "not_found",
      "message": "Object not found"
    }
  ]
}

Example API Failure for validation

{
  "ok": false,
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "empty_field",
      "field": "type",
      "message": "Expected to have a non-null or non-empty value"
    },
    {
      "code": "empty_field",
      "field": "name",
      "message": "Expected to have a non-null or non-empty value"
    }
  ]
}

The Trolley API uses the following error codes:

Error Code	HTTP Code	Description
invalid_status	400	Status of an object is invalid
invalid_field	400	Field value is invalid
empty_field	400	Field value is required but not provided
expired_quote	400	Quote is expired
invalid_api_key	401	API key is invalid
not_authorized	403	Authentication not permitted to access resource
not_found	404	Object not found
rate_limit_exceeded	429	Rate limit exceeded
partner_integration_error	500	Error occured with one of our partners
internal_server_error	500	Internal server error

In the event that the API returns an error, the response body will contain the following information:

Response

Key	Meaning
`ok`	Boolean `false` – The API call failed
`errors`	Array of descriptions, more detail on the failures, this may be multiple values for validation failures or a single value for other failures.

CORS

Trolley API supports cross-origin HTTP requests which is commonly referred to as CORS. This means that you can call API resources using Javascript from any browser. While this allows many interesting use cases, it’s important to remember that you should never expose private API keys to 3rd parties. CORS is mainly useful with unauthenticated endpoints and OAuth2 client side applications.

Fields

Type	Description
string	An arbitrary string value
integer	Integer number
float	Floating point number
date	All dates are represented in in ISO 8601 format in the UTC (Z) timezone (e.g. “2015-07-01T00:55:47Z)
country	All country codes are ISO ALPHA-2 country codes (e.g. “US”, “CA”, or “JP”)
amount	All amounts are in string format in order to avoid rounding problems with floating point numbers. The only allowed formats are positive numeric values with either two decimal places or no decimal (e.g. “1.99” or “123”).
currency	The type of currency is in ISO 4217 (e.g. “USD”, “CAD”, or “JPY”)

Rate limiting

The Trolley API is rate limited to prevent abuse that would degrade our ability to maintain consistent API performance for all users.

The rate limits are as follows:

200 requests per minute from any single IP address
100 requests per minute for any regular merchant
50 requests per minute for any sandbox merchant

If your requests are being rate limited, HTTP response code 429 will be returned with an rate_limit_exceeded error. Contact us to discuss rate limits at api@paymentrails.com.

Deprecation Policy

Technology evolves quickly and we are always looking for better ways to serve our customers. From time to time we need to make room for innovation by removing sections of code that are no longer necessary. We understand this can be disruptive and consequently we have designed a Deprecation Policy that protects our customers’ investment and that allows us to take advantage of modern tools, frameworks and practices in developing software.

Deprecation means that we discourage the use of a feature, design or practice because it has been superseded or is no longer considered efficient or safe but instead of removing it immediately, we mark it as Deprecated to provide backwards compatibility and time for you to update your projects. While the deprecated feature remains in the API and/or SDK for a period of time, we advise that you replace it with the recommended alternative which is explained in the relevant section of API documentation or the SDK code.

We remove deprecated features after 3 months from the time of announcement.

The security of our customers’ assets is of paramount importance to us and sometimes we have to deprecate features because they may pose a security threat or because new, more secure, ways are available. On such occasions we reserve the right to set a different deprecation period which may range from immediate removal to the standard 3 months.

Once a feature has been marked as deprecated, we no longer develop the code or implement bug fixes. We only do security fixes.

Authentication

All calls to the Trolley API require authentication. You will need to get an access key and secret key from the dashboard via the settings page.

Signing requests

API Key authentication requires each request to be signed, this ensures that your secret key is not part of the transmission.

Making a request

All REST requests must contain the following headers:

Authorization Where your signed request information will be transmitted
X-PR-Timestamp The timestamp of your request

All request bodies should have a content type of application/json and be valid JSON.

The Authorization header will have the format of Authorization: prsign ACCESS_KEY:REQUEST_SIGNATURE

The REQUEST_SIGNATURE is computed by creating a sha256 HMAC using the secret key on the prehash string and timestamp + '\n' + method + '\n' + requestPath + '\n' + body + '\n'.

timestamp This is the same value as transmitted in the X-PR-Timestamp header and is the seconds past 1970 (Unix Epoch) in UTC time.
method The request method in all upper case.
requestPath The full request path including all query parameters (e.g. /v1/recipients/?search=bob)
body The JSON body of the request.

Example of creating a signature

# Requires python-requests. Install with pip:
#
#   pip install requests
#

import json, hmac, hashlib, time, requests
from requests.auth import AuthBase

# Your key and secret as obtained by the Dashboard UI
API_KEY = 'API_KEY'
API_SECRET = 'API_SECRET'

# Create custom authentication for Trolley API
class PaymentRailsAuth(AuthBase):
    def __init__(self, api_key, secret_key):
        self.api_key = api_key
        self.secret_key = secret_key

    def __call__(self, request):
        print "PATH", request.path_url
        timestamp = str(int(time.time()))
        message = '\n'.join([timestamp, request.method, request.path_url, (request.body or ''), ''])
        signature = hmac.new(self.secret_key, message, digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()

        request.headers.update({
            'Authorization': 'prsign %s:%s' % (self.api_key, signature),
            'X-PR-Timestamp': timestamp,
        })

        print request.headers
        return request

api_url = 'https://api.paymentrails.com/v1/'
auth = PaymentRailsAuth(API_KEY, API_SECRET)

# Get list of recipients
r = requests.get(api_url + 'recipients', auth=auth)
print r.json()

Example API request

curl \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: prsign <ACCESS-KEY>:<SIGNATURE>" \
  -H "X-PR-Timestamp: <timestamp>" \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"type": "individual", "firstName": "Elon", "lastName": "Mask", "email": "elon@mask.com"}' \
  https://api.paymentrails.com/v1/recipients

Additional Security for API Keys

For enhanced API Key security, we recommend that you whitelist IP addresses that are permitted to make requests. You can do this in ‘Settings’ section of the merchant dashboard under the ‘Security’ tab.

Recipients

A recipient is an individual or company that can receive payments, such as freelancers, contract workers, suppliers, marketplace sellers, employees, etc. Basically, anyone your business needs to pay.

Recipients can receive payouts directly to their Bank Account or their PayPal account (with more payout options coming soon, such as Mobile Money, and Debit/Credit Cards).

Recipients must be created prior to sending a payment to them. When you create a recipient, we automatically generate and assign a unique recipient Id. The format of all recipient IDs are “R-1a2B3c4D5e6F7g8H9i0J1k”, with the ‘R-’ prefix indicating Recipient.

Recipient Account

Our philosophy is to give more choice of payout methods to users. What works for someone in San Francisco, London or Melbourne, might not be the best option for someone else in Jakarta, Nairobi or Mumbai. PayPal doesn’t support all countries, in fact, 97.5% of the worldwide population don’t have a PayPal account, and over 2 billion people don’t have a bank account. So clearly multiple payment options are needed to support a global business. That is why we plan to support every major payout method, so your users have choice of what works best for them.

Multiple Account Available

By POST-ing an account method for a recipient, you are adding a new payment method (such as their bank account, their PayPal account, mobile money account, prepaid card, etc) to the recipient.

A recipient can have multiple accounts with different payout methods assigned, however only one (1) account can be their selected (“primary”) account at any time.

Account Attributes

Below is a list of currently active (live) payout type, and those that are on our future roadmap.

Payout Method Type	Status	Description Method
`bank-transfer`	live	Bank Transfers (includes local bank transfers to 60+ major countries, and bank wires to all other countries)

Payments

The payment object describes a payment. Payments are sent to a recipient via the recipient’s chosen payout method, such as: bank account, PayPal, mobile money, or credit/debit card. If no payment method is setup, the payment will not be processed.

A Batch is a group of Payments. Payments are added to a batch prior to being processed. If your business does regularly scheduled payouts, such as once per day, once per week, every 2 weeks, or even monthly, then using batches will be great for you.

A batch can be made up of just 1 payment, or 100 payments, or hundreds of thousands of payments (there are no upper limits).

Batches also allow you to manually review and approve your payments before processing, if you prefer. This is handy if you conduct some additional fraud reviews on your payouts before processing, or if your company CFO or a senior manager is responsible for approving payouts before they go out.

There are 4 main steps for handling a batch:

Step 1: Create a batch

Firstly, when you Create a batch, the system will automatically open a new batch and assign a unique batchId which is generated by our system. The format of all Batch IDs are “B-1a2B3c4D5e6F7g8H9i0J1k”, with the ‘B-’ prefix indicating Batch, followed by 22 alphanumeric digits.

When you create a batch, you will also send us the details for your payments. This includes at a minimum the recipientId, amount and currency for all the payments for that batch.

Note: You can also use our online Dashboard portal to manually create a batch of payments by uploading a file of payments in .csv file format, or manually adding payments into a batch.

Payment Minimums

While adding payments to a batch, keep in mind there are limits to the minimum amount within a payment you can send through a bank transfer.
If you add payment amounts to a batch which are below the minimum amount allowed, the batch will not be processed. To avoid this, you should query /recipients/:recipientId API to find out the payment minimum for a recipient, before adding the payments to the batch.

For more information on how to work with Payment Minimums, and a suggested flow of this operation, have a look at this article: How to get ready for using Bank Transfer Minimums

Step 2: Generate Quote of FX rates

After creating the batch, you will need to send a POST request to the /batches/:id/generate-quote API to get the live exchange rates for payments that involve a currency conversion.

The system will update the exchange rate for all payments with bank-transfer type payout method. (Note that PayPal payments will not be updated, as PayPal handles the FX rates). You can generate a quote multiple times to get the latest live exchange rates, up until the batch has started processing.

Step 3: Check account balance

When the batch is created, the system will automatically check the balance of your account to see if it is sufficient to cover the costs of the payouts plus any transaction fees. If your account balance is not sufficient, the batch will remain pending (open) until your account is funded. You can see your account balance in the Dashboard under the ‘Transfers’ tab, which is updated in real time. You can also get your account balance by sending a GET request to the /balance endpoint.

Step 4: Process the batch

Once the batch is created, and there is sufficient funds in your account balance to cover the batch, then the batch can be processed. You will need to send a POST request to the /batches/:id/start-processing API to commence processing of the batch of payments.

Step 5: Summary of the batch

You can retrieve a summary of the batch, including the status and details of all the payments in the batch, by sending a GET request to the /batch/:id/summary endpoint.

If you wish to get the details of a specific payment within the batch, you can send a GET request to the /payments/:id endpoint.

To create a payment under a batch send a POST request to the /batches/:id/payments endpoint and include the payments details in the request body. A payment will be created and added to the batch. An auto-generated ID (paymentId) will be generated which can be used to retrieve or update payment or batch details at a later time.

HTTP Request

POST https://api.paymentrails.com/v1/batches/:id/payments

Fields	Description
recipient required object	Information about the recipient of the payment. One identifier must be provided.
recipient.id conditional string	Recipient ID assigned by Payment Rails, e.g. ‘R-12Ga2s31aH2233sa993HgsGs’. Used to identify the correct recipient to pay. You must provide at least one of: Email, Reference ID, or Recipient ID).
recipient.email conditional string	Recipient’s email address (e.g. john@email.com). Used to identify the correct recipient to pay. You must provide at least one of: Email, Reference ID, or Recipient ID).
recipient.referenceId conditional string	Recipient reference ID as assigned by your business (your internal user reference number, e.g. ‘U1234556678’). Used to identify the correct recipient to pay. You must provide at least one of: Email, Reference ID, or Recipient ID).
amount conditional string	Amount you wish to send, e.g. 100.00 USD, in your own currency.
currency conditional string	Currency of the amount you wish to send, e.g. 100.00 USD.
coverFees optional boolean	If the merchant should cover the network fees for this payment (default: false).
sourceAmount conditional string deprecated	Amount you wish to send, e.g. 100.00 USD, in your own currency. Required only if sending a “sourceAmount”.
sourceCurrency conditional string deprecated	Currency of the amount you wish to send, e.g. 100.00 USD. Required only if sending a “sourceAmount”.
targetAmount conditional string deprecated	Amount you wish the recipient to receive, e.g. 85.00 EUR, in the recipient’s currency. Required only if sending a “Receive Amount”.
targetCurrency conditional string deprecated	Currency of the amount you wish the recipient to receive, e.g. 85.00 EUR, in the recipient’s currency. Required only if sending a “Receive Amount”.
memo optional string	A short note which will be sent along with the payment to the recipient’s bank, as well as on the payment confirmation email if enabled. This memo will be displayed on the recipient’s bank statement descriptor to help them identify who the payment is from. The number of display characters depends on the recipient’s bank, so its best to keep short to less than 30 characters, otherwise the end may get cut off. Special characters are not supported on bank statement so will be stripped out by the bank. The memo field is good for referring to an invoice or reference number. We also strongly suggest to include your (short) business name at the start, as some banks globally dont support displaying your business as the sender name. A good sample memo for an invoice payment from Airbnb would be: “AIRBNB INV 12345678”.
externalId optional string/null	Storage for your internal reference ID for this payment, if present it must be unique.
taxReportable optional boolean	If the merchant should apply tax withholding on the payment, and in turn adding it to the tax reporting (default: true).
forceUsTaxActivity optional boolean	Set this to true ONLY when the tax reporting system is enabled AND the payment is taxReportable AND you intend to override the recipient’s W8’s “certify no us activities” to assert that the payment definately DOES involve US activities. (default: false).
category conditional string	Income type if the payment is Tax Reportable, either `services`, `royalties`, `rent`, `royalties_film` or `prizes`, otherwise `education` and `refunds` are supported for non Tax Reportable payments.

We also strongly suggest to include your (short) business name at the start, as some banks globally dont support displaying your business as the sender name. A good sample memo for an invoice payment from Airbnb would be: “AIRBNB INV 12345678”.
externalId optional string/null	Storage for your internal reference ID for this payment, if present it must be unique.
taxReportable optional boolean	If the merchant should apply tax withholding on the payment, and in turn adding it to the tax reporting (default: true).
category conditional string	Income type if the payment is Tax Reportable, either `services`, `royalties`, `rent` or `goods`.

Offline Payments

An Offline Payment represents a payment that was made outside of the Payment Rails platform, such as a manual check payment or made with another payouts provider. There are two primary reason you would want to pass this information to us: 1.) to allow those payments to be included in your end of year US tax reporting statements (Forms 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1042-S) and E-filing return, and 2.) to display those payments to your recipients in the Payments History page on the Recipient Widget or Portal, so recipients can see all their payments, even those that weren’t processed with Payment Rails or were processed before your migrated to Payment Rails.

Create an offline payment

const paymentrails = require("paymentrails");

const client = paymentrails.connect({
  key: "YOUR-API-KEY",
  secret: "YOUR-API-SECRET",
  environment: "production",
});

async function main() {
  var body = {

    currency: "USD",
    externalId: "id-123",
    memo: "A memo",
    processedAt: "2019-08-15T20:23:59.000Z",
    tags: [],
    payoutMethod: "paypal",
    taxReportable: true,
    withholdingAmount: "24.00",
    withholdingCurrency: "USD",
  };
  const recipientId = "R-4321c356vrcerc54js";

  const response = await client.offlinePayment.create(recipientId, body);

To create an offline payment for a recipient send a POST request to the /recipients/:id/offlinePayments endpoint and include the offline payments details in the request body. An auto-generated ID (id) will be generated which can be used to retrieve or update the offline payment details at a later time.

The invoices object is designed to handle an accounts payable bill. Invoices are a collection of header information about who the bill is from and when it’s due along with some total information about the individual lines on the bill.

Invoices will have one or more line items with a maximum of 500 lines per invoice. Each line item can have distinct tax treatments but must all be in the same currency.

Payments can be associated with the Invoice / Invoice Line to indicate that payments have been made against this invoice. This will cause the appropriate tax handling to be updated for these payments for accounting purposes. In the event that you’re modifying invoice payments after the payment has been processed the underlying payment will not be updated, since it’s money movement, but the tax handling will be updated.

Create an invoice (beta)

To create an invoice for a recipient send a POST request to the /invoices/create endpoint and include the recipientId for the given recipient. You can also add additional details and the invoice lines when you create the invoice. Note: Invoices are limited to 500 lines.

Balances

Balances relates to your business (merchant) account balance. You can retrieve the current balances of your (merchant) Payment Rails accounts, as well as your business PayPal account if it has been added. Balances are displayed with their associated currency.

Note that Payment Rails does not hold balances for individual recipients. Balance always refers to the merchant’s funding account balances. In the situation where a payment that was sent to a recipient is returned as an error, such as a mis-match of the name on the recipient’s bank account, then the returned funds will be added back to your merchant account balance. It would not be added to a recipient account balance/wallet balance. (We would also flag that payment as a returned payment so you can resolve it).

Trolley Webhooks

We use webhooks to communicate to your servers events that happen, for example payment is processed or returned. We do this via http POST calls to your services. To make it easy for your service to have both security and robusness we provide three additional headers for you.

X-PaymentRails-Signature – This contains a timestamp and a unique HMAC 256 signature to help verify the sender of the event
X-PaymentRails-Delivery – This is a unique id that allows your service to know if a webhook has already been delivered. If Trolley does not receive a 200 response from your service when sending a webhook it will retry with the same ID.
X-PaymentRails-Created – This is when the event was created at Trolley, we attempt to deliver all webhooks in order, it’s not guaranteed due to network issues so this allows you to ignore older events if necessary.

# Sample webhook headers

  X-PaymentRails-Created: 2021-02-15T13:55:15.690Z
  X-PaymentRails-Delivery: 33e72212-ba53-4a22-bce0-3cb09077e87c
  X-PaymentRails-Signature: t=1613397437,v1=29814ed539eedd76ef776fc9d3827591ba9e4ed8eb326525b3e2e8233b6a90d7

Checking signatures

The X-PaymentRails-Signature header contains a string formatted with comma , separated values where the t=NNNN value will contain the current timestamp of when the webhook was sent and the v1 value will contain the signature value.

To check to make sure that the secret is correct, the timestamp is concatenated with the raw body of the HTTP request and then the sha256 signature is computed.

Some simple code to verify the values is demonstrated below:

values = dict(x.strip().split('=') for x in header['X-PaymentRails-Signature'].split(','))
digest = hmac.new(shared_key, values['t'] + raw_body, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()

# digest === values['v1']

Webhook uniqueness

Webhooks may be delivered multiple times for the same object. If you need to check the idempotency of a webhook we provide a X-PaymentRails-Delivery delivery header which contains an unique ID that can be used to check for unique delivery.

Note: It is possible to receive more than one webhook callback for action on the server. For instance it’s possible that a single payment update on the UI or API may trigger two payment update events for a receiver of the webhook.

Testing webhooks

Note: you should it is not recomended that you use any proxy service for webhooks, this is outlined for testing purposes.

While most connections in the web world are from you to a server, webhooks are the rare type of connection that server makes towards you! When it comes to Trolley, these webhooks are triggered by events like a new payment being created or processed.

Webhooks are configured in the Trolley merchant dashboard settings. Keep in mind that the webhook settings for sandbox and live modes are separate so be sure to configure web hooks in the right mode. When creating a new webhook, you can specify the URL you would like to use as well as which events and models you would like to subscribe to.

When development testing you can receive web hooks using tools such as Webhook inbox. Webhook inbox provides you with a webhook URL that you can use to watch web hook callbacks as they come in. This can be useful when trying to understand how webhook callbacks are formated.

Once you’ve written your code you can get webhook callbacks on your workstation using tools such as Ultrahook. Ultrahook will allow your workstation or laptop to receive web hooks even it’s behind firewalls or NATs. Ultrahook can’t help you if your machine is off, so remember to plug it in and turn it on.

Trolley webhooks will callback on urls that match the url configured, with a POST and a payload similar to the example on the right. In this case the webhook is to signal that a new payment has been created. The payload contains the “model”, which is the type of object that fired the event. The payload contains the actions, which is the type of action that spawned the event. It also contains a body object which specified the affected model instance(s). Inside the body we will find the model object. The model object is serialized in the same format as the other endpoints so refer to documentation for that model for the full format.

List of Statuses

Recipient Status

Status	Details
`active`	An Active recipient is able to receive a payment. Each recipient must have a minimum amount of profile information to become active and eligible to send payments to. This minimum info includes having an Address, and a Payout Method setup. Please note that an Address is not required to become active when PayPal is the primary payout method for the recipient.
`incomplete`	An Incomplete recipient does not yet have the minimum required profile information to become active. An incomplete recipient cannot be sent a payment. The minimum amount of profile info required is an Address, and a Payout Method setup. Please note that an Address is not required to become active when PayPal is the primary payout method for the recipient.
`inactive`	There are two ways a recipient can become Inactive: 1.) The merchant (you or your staff) manually updates the recipient as Inactive through the dashboard, or via API; or 2.) If the recipient has not been sent a payment for 12 months or more, we will automatically update their status as Inactive. An Inactive recipient is still able to be sent a payment. We use the inactive status to help you organize and filter your recipients, and to help to avoid accidentally sending a manual payment to the wrong recipient. This is done by highlighting recipients that have not been active for the past 12 months.
`disabled`	This status is used to temporarily disable a recipient so they cannot be sent a payment. It is used when a recipient’s account appears to be compromised or hacked. There are two ways a recipient’s status can become Disabled: 1.) The merchant (you or your staff) manually updates the recipient as Disabled through the dashboard or via API; or 2.) Payment Rails has identified suspicious activity on the recipient’s profile, such as changes to the payment account info from an IP address in a different country (contact us for specific risk rules). The Disabled status is a temporary status, and is usually updated to either Suspended or Active status based on a risk review conducted by the merchant.
`archived`	This status is used to classify recipients that are deleted. Once a recipient is deleted, it becomes archived. Archived recipients are NOT deleted, they can aslo be un-archived.
`suspended`	The Suspended status is used for flagging fraudulent or bad recipients. These recipients cannot receive payments and cannot be added to a batch of payments. Suspended recipient information (email, IP address, etc) may also be used to identify and flag other potential bad users (e.g. the same bad user with multiple accounts) within your list of recipients.

Payment Status

Status	Details
`pending`	A payment’s status is automatically updated to Pending when a payment is created inside a batch. The payment will remain in Pending status until it is Processed. It is possible to Delete (DELETE) or update (PATCH) a payment in Pending status.
`failed`	A payment’s status will automatically be updated to ‘Failed’ if after an attempt to process it fails for any reason, such as a technical issue. You cannot delete (DELETE) or update (PATCH) a payment in ‘Failed’ status. A new payment would need to be created to attempt to process it again.
`processed`	A payment’s status will be automatically updated to Processed after it is attempted to be processed, and is successful. You cannot delete (DELETE) or update (PATCH) a payment in Processed status.
`returned`	A payment’s status will be automatically updated to Returned if it was successfully Processed, but was retured as not deliverable at a later time (from minutes up to weeks later). This is mostly occurs when the bank account number that was provided was found to be invalid, or there was a beneficiary mis-match (the name provided does not match with the name on the bank account). You cannot delete (DELETE) or update (PATCH) a payment in Returned status. Payments with returned status should be actioned by the merchant by requesting the recipient confirm their bank account or payout method details. Once updated, create a new payment to send to the recipients using an updated payout method. If a Recipient has a payment ‘Returned’, their payout method might be temporarily disabled until the payout method is updated by either the merchant or recipient. We recommend subscribing to the recipient update webhooks to keep track of this occuring.
`processing`	A payment’s status becomes processing once a user attempts to process a payment.

Batch Status

Status	Details
`open`	A new batch is assigned a status of Open when it is first created. You can Delete (DELETE) or update (PATCH) any batch with an Open status. Usually you will update a batch by adding payments to it.
`awaiting_approval`	A batch in the the approval process if it is configured. You can update a batch, but this will reset the batch to the `open` state
`accepted`	A batch is moved to Accepted status when it involves at least two currencies and a currency conversion needs to take place. If you accept the foreign exchange rate quotation provided, you will lock in that rate by accepting the quote. You cannot Delete (DELETE) or update (PATCH) a batch once it is in Accepted.
`processing`	When you initiate a batch to start processing, the status is updated to Processing. This status is temporary, and the status will automatically update once processing is completed. You cannot Delete (DELETE) or update (PATCH) a batch once it is in Processing status.
`complete`	Once all payments in a batch have been processed, failed or returned, it will be updated as Complete. You cannot Delete (DELETE) or update (PATCH) a batch once it is in Complete status.
`failed`	All payment in the batch have failed to be processed. You cannot Delete (DELETE) or update (PATCH) a batch once it is in failed status.

Country Requirements

Recipient Government ID Number

Some countries have special requirements to provide a Government ID or Tax ID number for recipients you send money to in that country. Below is a list of the countries that have this special requirement. We ask recipients for this information when providing their payout method account details.

Trolley SDK

API clients in: Node.js (Javascript), PHP, Ruby, Java, C#, and Python.

We want to make integrating with our APIs as easy as possible for developers. That is why we have developed SDKs for the most common languages, which you will find links to below, all hosted on GitHub.

If we don’t have a client for the language you need, please reach out to us on developers@paymentrails.com, and we will see what we can do to add that language.
