Payout Beneficiary

Overview

POST /api/wallet/payout/beneficiary answers the two questions /api/wallet/payout cannot answer before it is too late: who the PIX key belongs to, and what the payout will cost. It returns the payee's name, masked tax id and bank, the full price, and a quoteId you pass to the payout — which then settles exactly what was quoted.

Nothing is debited here. No transaction is created, no PIX is paid, and calling it twice costs nothing but a second quote.

A quote is a lock, not an estimate. /api/wallet/payout reads the fee, the FX rate, the asset and the destination from the quote instead of pricing them again. This is what makes it different from POST /api/quote, which is indicative pricing for any pair and reserves nothing.

Only a PIX key is quotable. A BR Code already carries its own amount and payee — pay it directly with qrCode on /api/wallet/payout.

Flow

1. POST /api/wallet/payout/beneficiary — show the user the name that came back, and the fee.
2. POST /api/wallet/payout with quoteId + walletPin — settles at the quoted price.
3. GET /api/wallet/payout/{transactionId} — poll until COMPLETED or FAILED.

The quote expires 5 minutes after it is issued, and is consumed by the payout that uses it. An expired, unknown or already used quoteId answers 400 — quote again.

Reading the quote

Paying against the quote

Send the quoteId with the wallet credentials. pixKey and pixKeyType may be omitted — they come from the quote:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.hodle.com.br/api/wallet/payout \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "value": 5000,
    "network": "base",
    "quoteId": "b0f1c7de-9f2b-4a71-9c1e-2f4e2a1d6c88",
    "walletPin": "1234",
    "protectedSymmetricKey": "AoofiKHyVRLvdrknnXzo..."
  }'

What the payout takes from the quote: the fee, the FX rate, the asset, the destination, and — when the payout was already reserved — the reservation it releases. What you send is only checked against it: value, network, asset, pixKey and subAccountId must agree with the quote or the request is refused with, for example, "value does not match the quote".

quoteId needs walletPin. A quoted payout is signed by Hodle. The sign-on-your-own-device legs (payoutIntentId + signature) carry their own quote and do not take a quoteId.

Reserved payouts (status: PENDING)

When the PIX is settled by an account opened in your name (settlement: "OWN_ACCOUNT"), the quote does more than price the payout: it reserves it, and /api/wallet/payout then only releases the reservation. That is what status: "PENDING" means, and it is why payoutId comes back — the payout already exists, waiting to be paid. One round trip less at the moment the money moves, and no way for the payout to come out at a different price than the one you were quoted.

A reservation needs the settling account to already hold the balance, which an account that keeps no float does not: the stablecoin only arrives with the debit, at settlement time. The quote then answers status: "QUOTED" instead — a price, with nothing reserved behind it. The quoteId works exactly the same way; the payout is simply created when it is paid, as it always has been.

A reserved payout that is never paid stays PENDING. There is no cancel route for it. Quote when the user is about to pay, not speculatively.

Errors

Requires API payouts enabled on the account, like /api/wallet/payout — ask support.
