# Approve Payout

The Approve Payout endpoint is used by the Merchant to explicitly approve a payout request before it is sent for processing. This step is required only when `autoMerchantApproval = 0`. Once approved, the payout transitions from a pending / queued state to processing, triggering the downstream fiat disbursement.

***

#### When to Use

Call this endpoint when:

* `autoMerchantApproval = 0`
* A payout has been created and is in a **pending / awaiting approval** state
* All required user inputs, KYC (where applicable), and validations are complete

***

#### Flow Context

1. Merchant creates a payout request
2. End user submits required details and completes KYC (if applicable)
3. Payout enters pending approval state
4. Merchant calls `approvePayout` (this endpoint)
5. Payout moves to processing
6. EUR is disbursed to beneficiary via Open Banking rails
7. Merchant’s USDC balance is debited accordingly

#### **Flow outcome:**

* The merchant initiates a transfer of USDC to the end user
* The end user completes the off-ramp flow via the hosted widget
* The corresponding fiat amount is made available to the end user via SEPA instant
* The merchant’s USDC balance is debited for the corresponding amount (including applicable fees, if any)
