What is a global payout platform and how does it work?

A global payout platform allows businesses to send funds to customers, sellers, partners or users across multiple countries through one payment infrastructure. With our Cashouts API, your business creates a cashout request, the request is validated, the payout is processed and your system can track the final status.

Why use a global payout platform instead of traditional wire transfers?

A global payout platform helps reduce manual work, improve payout tracking and support local payment routes across different markets. Instead of managing individual bank transfers separately, your business can centralize payout creation, status monitoring and operational control through API-based tools.

How do global payout platforms handle currency conversion and FX fees?

Currency conversion and FX conditions depend on the countries, currencies, payout methods and commercial setup enabled for your business. We help provide transparent payout operations so your finance team can understand settlement conditions, currency needs and applicable costs before scaling internationally.

Global payout platform vs. merchant acquirer: What are the differences?

A merchant acquirer focuses mainly on enabling businesses to accept payments from customers. A global payout platform focuses on sending funds out to users, sellers, partners or beneficiaries. We support both payment acceptance and payout operations, helping businesses manage incoming and outgoing payment flows through connected infrastructure.

Which payout methods does Limepay support?

Supported payout methods depend on the country, currency and configuration enabled for your business. Our Cashouts API includes tools such as the Cashout Bank Codes Endpoint, which retrieves the list of banks available for cashouts in each supported country.

How many payout countries and currencies does Limepay support?

Coverage depends on your commercial setup, target markets and available payout rails. We support international payout operations across multiple countries and help your business define the right payout configuration based on market needs, currency requirements and operational volume.
