A Payout in Violet represents the movement of funds from a payment provider (like Stripe) to a connected Merchant’s external bank account. It is the final step in the Violet payment lifecycle, following the creation of a PaymentTransaction, the allocation of funds through Distributions, and the internal routing of funds via Transfers.

For merchants to receive Payouts, they must have a connected Prism Pay Account (PPA) set up. This account is created during the onboarding process and is essential for receiving funds from orders placed through your app.
