  1. Users
  2. Add Payout Methods

All requests to the /v2/users/* endpoints must include both the client_id and api_key as detailed in the Authentication document.

Payout methods can be added by a user’s account by the user through the UI components provided by Dots. For a more custom integration, you can use the /v2/users//payout-methods endpoint to do the same.
