Payout settled

Paystack confirmed the bank credited the merchant.

When this fires

Paystack confirmed the destination bank credited the merchant — this is the 'cash in account' event.

Sample payload

This is the exact envelope shape we POST to your endpoint — outer wrapper plus the per-event data payload. Field values are randomised on each render so you see the general shape, not a fixed example.
