# Scenarios: Direct & Batch Payouts

## Direct Payouts

Direct Payouts represent a straightforward, one-to-one funds transfer between two parties. For each transaction initiated
on behalf of a payee, a single corresponding payout is delivered directly to them. This model is ideal for platforms that
need a simple, transparent payment flow where every transaction results in an immediate, individual payout to the recipient.

## Batch Payouts

Batch Payouts consolidate multiple transactions for a single payee into one combined payout. Rather than issuing a
separate payout for each individual transaction, all debits created on behalf of a payee are rolled up and delivered as
a single credit. This model is ideal for platforms that process a high volume of transactions per payee and prefer to
streamline disbursements into fewer, larger payouts.
