We'll cover your wallet balances, how to deposit and settle funds, withdraw funds, process batch payouts, and handle refunds. ## Wallets and Merchant Balances Your Cryptoix account displays several types of balances to help you understand your financial position. These balances may be shown per cryptocurrency or wallet, and the dashboard might provide converted values for an overview. * **Available Balance:** This is the amount of funds you can immediately use for withdrawals, payouts, or other operational expenses. It includes funds that have been fully settled and are not currently reserved for any pending operations. * **Pending Balance:** This balance represents funds that have been received but are still undergoing processing or are awaiting settlement. This could include recent deposits that haven't cleared or funds being held for ongoing transactions. * **Frozen Funds:** Funds in this category are temporarily unavailable. This typically happens when you initiate a withdrawal or payout, or when a refund is being processed. These funds are earmarked for a specific outgoing transaction. * **Settled Balance:** This is the total amount of funds that have successfully completed the settlement process. It reflects all completed transactions that have cleared your account. Your available balance is generally your settled balance minus any frozen funds. ## Deposits and Settlement When customers make payments to your Cryptoix account, these deposits are detected and monitored by Cryptoix. * **Pending Deposits:** Newly received deposits may appear in your pending balance while Cryptoix confirms the required blockchain confirmations or completes internal processing. * **Settlement:** Once a deposit is fully confirmed and processed, it moves from your pending balance to your settled balance. This process ensures the funds are finalized and available for your use. ## Withdrawals Withdrawals are when you move funds from your Cryptoix available balance to an external cryptocurrency wallet that you own. You initiate a withdrawal to access your earnings. **How to Withdraw Funds:** 1. Navigate to the **Wallets** section in your merchant dashboard. 2. Select the **Withdraw** option. 3. Choose the cryptocurrency you wish to withdraw. 4. Enter the amount you want to withdraw. 5. Provide or select the **destination cryptocurrency wallet address** where you want to receive the funds. **Important:** Always double-check the wallet address for accuracy. Blockchain transfers are irreversible, and errors can lead to permanent loss of funds. 6. Confirm the transaction details, including any applicable fees. 7. Submit the withdrawal request. **Requirements for Withdrawals:** Withdrawals may require: * KYC Approval. * Sufficient available balance to cover the withdrawal amount plus fees. * Verification of the destination wallet address. * Additional administrative review, depending on your account status and the withdrawal amount. ## Batch Payouts Batch payouts allow you to send payments to multiple cryptocurrency wallet addresses simultaneously. This is ideal for paying suppliers, contractors, or affiliates in a single, efficient transaction. **How to Process Batch Payouts:** 1. Go to the **Payouts** section in your merchant dashboard. 2. Select **Create Batch Payout**. 3. Enter recipient cryptocurrency wallet addresses and the amounts to be paid. 4. Review the details of the batch payout, including the total amount and any associated fees. 5. Confirm and submit the batch payout request. **Requirements for Batch Payouts:** Batch payouts may require: * KYC approval. * Sufficient available balance to cover the entire payout amount plus fees. * Administrative review, depending on your account status and payout details. ## Refunds When you need to return funds to a customer for a returned product or a canceled service, you issue a refund. Cryptoix supports two main ways to process refunds: * **Balance-Backed Refunds:** These refunds directly debit or freeze funds from your Cryptoix wallet balance. You can initiate these from the transaction details page. * **External/Manual Refunds:** These refunds do not directly mutate your Cryptoix wallet balances. They are typically recorded for accounting purposes. **How to Process Refunds:** 1. Navigate to the **Transactions** section in your merchant dashboard. 2. Locate the specific transaction you wish to refund. 3. Select the **Refund** option for that transaction. 4. Enter the refund amount. 5. Provide any necessary details or a reason for the refund. 6. Confirm the refund details. **Requirements for Refunds:** Balance-backed refunds may require: * Sufficient available balance to cover the refund amount plus any associated fees. * Administrative approval or verification, depending on your configuration and the refund amount. ## Fees, Frozen Funds, and Available Balance * **Fees:** Certain actions, such as withdrawals and batch payouts, may incur transaction fees. These fees are typically deducted from the amount being sent or from your available balance. You will usually see a clear breakdown of fees before confirming a transaction. * **Frozen Funds:** When you initiate a withdrawal or payout, the corresponding amount is moved to your "Frozen Funds" balance. This ensures the funds are reserved for the outgoing transaction. Once the transaction is successfully processed, the funds are removed from your balance. * **Available Balance:** Your available balance is the key metric for initiating new withdrawals and payouts. Ensure you have enough available funds to cover both the transaction amount and any associated fees. Your available balance is your settled balance minus any frozen funds. ## Security Checklist for Fund Management To ensure the security of your Cryptoix account and funds: * **Verify Wallet Addresses Carefully:** Always double-check and triple-check all external cryptocurrency wallet addresses before confirming any withdrawal or payout. Blockchain transfers are irreversible, and errors can lead to permanent loss of funds. * **Monitor Your Balances Regularly:** Keep an eye on your available, pending, and frozen balances to stay informed about your financial status. * **Review Transaction History:** Periodically review your transaction history for any suspicious activity. * **Secure API Keys:** If you use API keys for automated transactions, keep them confidential and rotate them regularly. * **Review Approval Requests Carefully:** If your account uses administrative approval workflows for certain actions, ensure you verify all details of any pending requests before approving them. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
