Payouts REST API - No funding

Hi there,

 

I have successfully setup everything for the payouts REST API. I also got a valid token and at the moment I try to do the payouts call, the API returns as follows: "Sender does not have sufficient funds. Please add funds and retry."

 

How do I add funds to the senders account? The senders account is a Sandbox business account and a facilitator. 

 

Thanks,

Uwe

Hi, in this case you can create a new Sandbox user with an high amount and then transfer money from inside the newly account created to the account that needs to be topped up.

I also have this error, but the business account in question has a balance of 100,000 - why the error message?

Same problem. The business account I signed up with has $200 USD and I am just testing $1 payout. However, I went to sandbox>Accounts and it is payments-facilitator, not my business email and under funding it says .00. Maybe I just don't get how it is supposed to work, can't find any docs though in the Payouts API.

 

Edit: got it, just had to make a new account with a balance for the sandbox. Couldn't figure out how to edit a current. Also had to create a new app.
