Payouts
The way people work is changing fast. People can work remotely and be part of international organizations without leaving their country.This scenario created a new challenge for cross border companies: how to pay people the way they want to in their currency without being there? Regulation, compliance, taxes, local connections, and other things are needed to make this process smooth to both ends, and this is what Localpayment is offering with the payout solution.This is where Payout solutions come into play. A payout is the act of sending funds to a supplier, partners or a freelancer and helps merchants by:
- Providing faster payments
- Offering a single platform to attend multiple countries
- Reducing total number of transactions to perform a payment
- Providing a good experience to the payees
The Payout solution offers the following advantages:
- Competitive SLA. Payment occurs in T+0 business days
- Regional Latam coverage
- Improve FX Managment
- Better end user experience
- Full control on the amount the payees receive
- Full control of the payment status 24/7

- Direct API: Our Payout API allows for full customization of the user experience according to the merchant's needs. This solution requires code development on the merchant's website.
- Dashboard: Localpayment's Dashboard offers a smooth experience without the need for any coding at all. Simply log on to your dashboard and check our payout feature and upload our template (TXT, CSV, TXT)
- Ripplenet: Localpayment is a Ripplenet partner. That means we can receive payment instructions through Ripplenet API, sometimes this makes the integration much faster for merchants who already are ripplenet partners aswell.
