# Create Payout

> Initiates a payout order against a valid, unexpired quotation. Verify the wallet address and blockchain before submitting; deposits to wrong addresses are permanent and non-recoverable.

<Prompt description="Create Payout" actions={["cursor"]}>
  Integrate the DollarPe Create Payout endpoint to complete an off-ramp (crypto → fiat) order.

  Endpoint: POST /payout/initiate
  Base URL: [https://api.dollarpe.in](https://api.dollarpe.in) (production) | [https://sandbox.dollarpe.in](https://sandbox.dollarpe.in) (sandbox)

  Auth headers required on every request:

  * X-API-KEY: your API key
  * X-TIMESTAMP: current Unix time in seconds
  * X-SIGNATURE: Base64(HMAC-SHA256(X-API-KEY + X-TIMESTAMP + sortedJSONBody, apiSecret))

  Payout flow:

  1. POST /payout/quotation → get quotation\_id and crypto deposit address
  2. Customer sends crypto to the returned deposit address
  3. POST /payout/initiate → create the order (link to quotation\_id)
  4. Poll GET /payout/{payout_id} or listen to webhooks for status updates

  CRITICAL: Deposits to wrong addresses or unsupported asset/blockchain pairs are permanent and non-recoverable. Validate the wallet address and blockchain before initiating.

  Task: Write a typed function that:

  1. Accepts quotation\_id, customer\_id, client\_reference\_id, and wallet details
  2. Validates the wallet address and blockchain match before calling the API
  3. Builds signed auth headers
  4. POSTs to /payout/initiate
  5. Returns payout\_id and initial status
  6. Handles 400 errors (expired/duplicate quotation)

  Language: TypeScript
</Prompt>

<Note>
  Before initiating a payout, please review our [Payout Best Practices](/guides/getting-started/best-practice) guide to ensure successful transaction processing.
</Note>

<Warning>
  **Critical Warning:**

  * Deposits to unsupported asset/blockchain pairs will be lost
  * Deposits to incorrect addresses will be lost
  * These losses are **permanent** and **non-recoverable**
</Warning>
