Activating payouts
The mass payouts protocol is now outdated. If you want to make payouts via the API, use the YooMoney API.
To activate payouts, you need to choose the activation method and the integration method, enter into a contract with YooMoney, and integrate with YooMoney following the selected scenario.
You can make regular payouts and payouts from a business account. The only difference is the information required from the user to process a payout as well as the maximum payout limit. Learn more about payouts from a business account
