🛑Approving Held Payouts
A payout in pending-approval is approved or rejected in the PayRam dashboard (Withdraw → Payouts), not through the API.
Approve
A 6-digit code, valid for 10 minutes, is emailed to the approving admin’s own address. The payout shows pending-otp-verification until the code is entered. The approval takes effect only when the code is entered: the payout then moves to pending, payout.approved is sent (PayRam Core v3.9.0 and later), and the payout is sent.
Reject
The payout becomes rejected (final).
Who can approve a held payout (PayRam Core v3.9.0 and later):
Root and Admin — any payout, including one they created.
Project Admin — payouts of the projects they administer, including one they created.
Nobody else — creating a payout never lets you approve it. Other members get an “insufficient permissions” error, and the payout stays awaiting approval.
Approving or rejecting a payout that is no longer awaiting approval (already queued, being sent, sent, rejected or cancelled) is refused with 409 PAYOUT_NOT_AWAITING_APPROVAL and changes nothing. A wrong, expired or already-used code is refused with 400 INVALID_OTP; the payout keeps waiting for the right code (PayRam Core v3.9.0 and later).
Track the result through webhooks or GET Single Payout.
