Pay me now

Objective

Provide Seller the opportunity to be paid in advance after accepting to be charged an additional fee.

Setup

Critical Knowledge
In order to activate the feature, please create a ticket in TMLSD. The configuration that needs to be enabled is pay_me_now/enabled and payout/new_view/enabled.
As a prerequisite, old account statements closed that have been paid offline have to be marked as paid by the Admin or Finance Agents.

If the prerequisite won’t be met, all past payouts will appear as cash balance in seller’s favour.
“Payoneer integration” is not supported together with “Pay me now” feature at the moment.
