How To: Implement Seller Payouts on Marketplaces (API)

Below shows how marketplaces can initiate seller payouts via api

This page is for advanced / cryptocurrency-native companies. If that’s not you, head back to the Quickstart for the standard flows.

Coinflow handles wallet provisioning and signing for you. The code samples below show the advanced/self-custody path — most marketplaces only need to call steps 4, 6, and 8.

  1. Set up the seller’s embedded wallet (advanced)
    Coinflow provisions and manages an embedded wallet for each seller. If you need to integrate with your own embedded-wallet stack, reach out to Coinflow support for the integration spec.
  1. Get Seller Verification

    curl --request GET \
    --url https://api-sandbox.coinflow.cash/api/seller/verifyTransaction \
    --header 'accept: application/json' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-blockchain: solana' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-wallet: CVrsREanmfBAeZH14PXrBzw4wF8Eh12PJDHYq2feoxUq'
    OK
  2. Get Wallet balance
    This endpoint will show you how much is in the seller’s wallet balance.

    Text
    curl --request GET \
    --url https://api-sandbox.coinflow.cash/api/withdraw/balances \
    --header 'accept: application/json' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-blockchain: solana' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-wallet: CVrsREanmfBAeZH14PXrBzw4wF8Eh12PJDHYq2feoxUq'
    {
    "balances": [
    {
    "mint": "4zMMC9srt5Ri5X14GAgXhaHii3GnPAEERYPJgZJDncDU",
    "balance": 107.02,
    "decimals": 6,
    "icon": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solana-labs/token-list/main/assets/mainnet/4zMMC9srt5Ri5X14GAgXhaHii3GnPAEERYPJgZJDncDU/logo.png",
    "name": "USD Coin",
    "symbol": "USDC",
    "isStablecoin": true,
    "stablecoinCurrency": "USD"
    }
    ]
    }

    Coinflow holds seller balances in regulated stablecoins under the hood; you can treat the balance as a normal USD-denominated balance.

  3. Add Payout Destination

    Debit Card (US Only)
    curl --location 'https://api-sandbox.coinflow.cash/api/withdraw/debit-card' \
    --header 'Authorization: YOUR_MARKETPLACE_API_KEY' \
    --header 'accept: application/json' \
    --header 'content-type: application/json' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-wallet: CVrsREanmfBAeZH14PXrBzw4wF8Eh12PJDHYq2feoxUq' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-blockchain: solana' \
    --data '{
    "cardToken": "411111YJM5TX1111",
    "expMonth": "10",
    "expYear": "29"
    }'
    Bank Account (US Only)
    curl --location 'https://api-sandbox.coinflow.cash/api/withdraw/account' \
    --header 'Authorization: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
    --header 'accept: application/json' \
    --header 'content-type: application/json' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-user-id: usher' \
    --data '
    {
    "type": "checking",
    "alias": "Ushers Savings 1",
    "accountNumber": "1111222233330000",
    "routingNumber": "333333334"
    }
    '
    IBAN (EU/UK Only)
    curl --location 'https://api-sandbox.coinflow.cash/api/withdraw/iban' \
    --header 'Authorization: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
    --header 'accept: application/json' \
    --header 'content-type: application/json' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-user-id: usher' \
    --data '
    {
    "alias": "Ushers Savings 1",
    "number": "<Iban number>",
    "sortCode": "<UK Sort Code>" // Pass only for UK Residents
    }
    '
    PIX (BRL Only)
    curl --request POST \
    --url https://api-sandbox.coinflow.cash/api/withdraw/pix \
    --header 'accept: application/json' \
    --header 'content-type: application/json' \
    --data '{"pixKey":"1234"}'
  4. Get withdrawer
    Calling get withdrawer will allow you to fetch any linked payout destinations.

    curl --request GET \
    --url https://api-sandbox.coinflow.cash/api/withdraw \
    --header 'accept: application/json' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-blockchain: solana' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-wallet: CVrsREanmfBAeZH14PXrBzw4wF8Eh12PJDHYq2feoxUq'

    "pixes": [],
    "efts": [],
    "rtpDisabled": false,
    "cardDisabled": false
    }
    }
  5. Get withdraw Tx
    This generates an authorization payload that the seller signs to approve the withdrawal. Coinflow’s embedded wallet (set up in step 1) handles the signing on the seller’s behalf — no end-user blockchain knowledge required.

    curl --request POST \
    --url https://api-sandbox.coinflow.cash/api/withdraw/transaction \
    --header 'accept: application/json' \
    --header 'content-type: application/json' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-blockchain: solana' \
    --header 'x-coinflow-auth-wallet: CVrsREanmfBAeZH14PXrBzw4wF8Eh12PJDHYq2feoxUq' \
    --data '
    {
    "speed": "asap",
    "amount": 5,
    "merchantId": "sellerAA",
    "account": "ebb19596-3edf-47a2-8f7e-360ffc78893c"
    }
    '
    {

    "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"
    ]
    }
  1. Sign and Send Tx
    The below shows how you can fetch the transaction from step 5, enable the seller to sign the transaction and then send the signed authorization. Once Coinflow receives it, your seller’s payout begins.

    Sign and Send Tx
    import {
    Connection,
    PublicKey,
    Transaction,
    VersionedTransaction
    } from '@solana/web3.js';
    import { useCallback, useEffect, useMemo, useState } from 'react';
    import { Buffer } from 'buffer';
    import base58 from 'bs58';
    const handleSignAndSend = useCallback(async () => {
    if (!wallet?.signTransaction || !wallet?.publicKey) {
    console.error('Wallet not ready');
    return;
    } //ensure wallet is set up and ready to sign + send transaction
    const base58Tx ='3g67...'; // Transaction returned from Step 5
    try {
    const buffer = base58.decode(base58Tx); // Deserialize the transaction
    let transaction;
    try {
    transaction = Transaction.from(buffer);
    } catch {
    transaction = VersionedTransaction.deserialize(buffer);
    }
    const signedTx = await wallet.signTransaction(transaction);
    console.log('Signed transaction:', signedTx); // wallet signing tx
    const txId = await connection.sendRawTransaction(signedTx.serialize());
    console.log('Transaction sent! Signature:', txId); // sends wallet to blockchain
    } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error signing or sending transaction:', err);
    }
    }, [wallet, connection]);
    Implementation w/ Embedded Wallet
    function App() {
    // Initiate the embedded wallet for this seller
    const wallet = useEmbeddedWallet({
    appId: 'YOUR_EMBEDDED_WALLET_APP_ID', // Get this from calling Get Merchant: /api-reference/api-reference/merchant/get-merchant
    email: 'SELLERS_EMAIL_ADDRESS',
    });
    // Initiate connection to the settlement chain. Note: Change to mainnet on prod: https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
    const connection = useMemo(
    () => new Connection('https://api.devnet.solana.com'),
    []
    );
    useEffect(() => {
    if (wallet?.publicKey) {
    console.log('Seller Wallet Address:', wallet.publicKey.toBase58()); // The sellers wallet address
    }
    }, [wallet]);
    // Triggers signing the transaction returned from Coinflow and sending to the blockchain to initiate the payout
    const handleSignAndSend = useCallback(async () => {
    if (!wallet?.signTransaction || !wallet?.publicKey) {
    console.error('Wallet not ready');
    return;
    }
    const base58Tx =
    'YOUR_BASE58_TX_FROM_STEP_5'; // Get this from Step 5: /api-reference/api-reference/withdraw/get-transaction
    try {
    const buffer = base58.decode(base58Tx); // Deserialize the transaction
    let transaction;
    try {
    transaction = Transaction.from(buffer);
    } catch {
    transaction = VersionedTransaction.deserialize(buffer);
    }
    const signedTx = await wallet.signTransaction(transaction);
    console.log('Signed transaction:', signedTx);
    const txId = await connection.sendRawTransaction(signedTx.serialize());
    console.log('Transaction sent! Signature:', txId);
    } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error signing or sending transaction:', err);
    }
    }, [wallet, connection]);
    return (
    <div>
    <h1>Initiate payout from wallet</h1>
    <button onClick={handleSignAndSend}>Sign & Send Transaction</button>
    </div>
    );
    }
