Onboard your users, let them manage their payout accounts and preferences, and then pay them out when needed.

​
Flow Steps

​
Authentication and Onboarding

The authentication and onboarding step are automatically added to the start of your flow when a user_id is not provided in the API call. When this step is complete, a user_id is added to the flow object.

​
Compliance

Adding the compliance step to your flow will force the collection of a user’s SSN, date of birth, and address if based in the US. Otherwise, the compliance step will be added automatically based on local tax laws.

​
Payment Method Management

The manage-payments lets a user connect their US bank account for payments to your app.

​
Payout Method Management

The manage-payouts lets a user connect their desired payout methods to Dots and choose a default method.

​
Payout

The payout step lets the user withdraw their funds to their preferred payout method.
