# Jupico Payout Options: Scheduled and API Transfers

> Learn how Jupico payouts work. Compare scheduled payouts for predictable intervals and API-driven dynamic payouts for on-demand fund transfers.

Payouts are how merchants receive their funds through Jupico. You can transfer funds to merchants either on a predefined schedule — daily, weekly, or monthly — or on demand through the API whenever your platform or business logic requires it. Jupico automates the processing, gives you real-time visibility into payout status, and notifies you of key events throughout the transfer lifecycle.

## Key Features

* **Flexible Payout Scheduling:** Configure daily, weekly, or monthly payout intervals to match your merchants' business requirements.
* **Automated Processing:** Jupico transfers funds to the right recipients on time, without manual intervention.
* **Detailed Reporting:** Access comprehensive reports that surface payout statuses, amounts, and recipient details across all transactions.
* **Secure Funds Transfer:** Jupico uses industry-standard encryption and secure transfer protocols to ensure every payout reaches its intended recipient safely.

## Payout Types

Jupico offers two primary payout types. Choose the one that best fits your platform's needs, or use both for different merchant segments.

| Type                      | How it works                                                                             | Best for                                                            |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Scheduled Payouts**     | Funds are automatically transferred at a predefined interval (daily, weekly, or monthly) | Predictable cash flow, reduced admin overhead                       |
| **API Payouts (Dynamic)** | You initiate the payout at any time via the Dynamic Payouts API                          | On-demand scenarios, variable timing, event-triggered disbursements |

## How Payouts Work

<Steps>
  <Step title="Initiate a Payout">
    Start a payout through Jupico's API or Backoffice, providing the recipient's account information, payout amount, and currency.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Jupico Processes the Transfer">
    Jupico transfers the specified amount from your account to the recipient's account, including any necessary currency conversions and adhering to the defined payout schedule.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track Payout Status">
    Monitor the status of your payouts in real-time using Jupico's API or Backoffice dashboard to maintain full visibility and address any issues promptly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive Notifications">
    Jupico sends notifications for payout events — including successful transfers, failures, and delays — so you stay informed throughout the process.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Payout timing:** In production, payouts settle in end-of-day batches with next-day settlement. In the sandbox environment, payouts take approximately 2 minutes to process.
