Step 4: Create a Transfer

Learn how to create a transfer using Wise payouts API.

In this lesson, we’ll learn how to create a transfer based on a quote using the transfers endpoint. It is a payout order that we create to a recipient account. Once it is created, the transfer must be completed within the next 14 days. Otherwise, it will be canceled automatically.
