# Check Payout Status

GET https://shimi-waas-api-9493532b9281.herokuapp.com/api/v1/settlement/transfer/{id}

Polls the current status of a payout — use this after receiving a `202` from **Send Payout**, or any time you want to confirm a payout's outcome.

`status` is one of: `PENDING` (still resolving — check back or wait for the webhook), `success`, or `failed`.

**Path parameter:** `id` (string, required) - the payout `reference` (= `verify_id`).

**Behaviour notes**

* `status` is `PENDING`, `success` or `failed`. Internal `SUBMITTING` / `PROCESSING` states are reported as `PENDING`.
* `fee` is the payout fee charged on top of `amount` (both NGN).
* A `verify_id` that was validated but never used for a payout also shows `PENDING`, with `amount: 0` and `fee: 0`.
* Unknown id: `404 { "error": "Transfer not found" }`.
