Queued Payouts

Check about scenarios when payouts are queued and how to cancel a queued payout.

When you do not have sufficient balance to process a payout, we queue the payout instead of failing the payout, saving you time and effort.

Payouts that are queued get processed when you add funds to your account. Know more about

Payout Processing - Order

Queued payouts are processed in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. If a payout cannot be processed due to insufficient balance, Razorpay attempts to process the next payout in the queue.
