Confirm a Validated Batch

Confirm a batch for processing. The state machine is uploaded → validating → validated → confirmed → processing → completed|partial|failed. Only batches in validated status may be confirmed; the batch transitions to confirmed and then processing as payouts are created from valid rows.

Confirmation is irrevocable — once a batch is confirmed, individual payouts can still be cancelled (POST /v1/payouts/{id}/cancel) up until they’re submitted to a rail, but the batch itself proceeds.

Requires an Idempotency-Key header.

Authorizations

DPoP

string

header

required

Per-request DPoP proof JWT (RFC 9449). MUST accompany the Authorization: DPoP <access_token> header on every protected operation. The proof is signed by the merchant's private DPoP key and carries htm, htu, iat, jti, and ath claims.

Headers

Idempotency-Key

string

required

Unique key identifying this operation. Sending the same key twice returns the original response instead of creating a duplicate. Keys are retained for 24 hours.

Maximum string length: 255

Path Parameters

string

required

Pattern: ^bat_[a-zA-Z0-9]+$

Body

application/json

source_currency

string

Override the default funding currency for rows that don't specify one.

Pattern: ^[A-Z]{3}$

Example:

"USD"

Response

Batch confirmed and queued for processing.

data

object
