Payout FX settings

Payout settings include an fx_enabled flag that you can enable or disable. The flag is observable configuration, but it does not by itself guarantee that a foreign-currency account, destination, or currency pair is accepted.

Prerequisites

What the setting controls

Use Enable FX payouts and Disable FX payouts to change fx_enabled. Both operations return the updated payout settings.

The current connection and destination contracts accept ghs. Do not infer support for USD, EUR, GBP, cross-currency routing, a particular exchange rate, or conversion pricing from fx_enabled: true. Those capabilities are available only when the relevant endpoint contracts explicitly accept them.

Design your integration conservatively

Keep financial-account currency and payout-destination currency aligned. Before adding a conversion flow, verify all three parts of the public contract:

  • The destination account currency is accepted by the Financial Accounts API.
  • The destination mapping is accepted by the Payouts API.
  • The required currency pair, rate, fees, and resulting payout fields are documented.

Until all three are present, treat the FX setting as stored configuration rather than an executable cross-currency payout guarantee.
