# Payout Link
Handling payouts can be operationally complex, particularly when it involves collecting and managing bank account details from multiple recipients. To streamline this process, DOKU provides a feature called Payout Link. This feature allows merchants to send bonuses and commissions to their employees.
With Payout Link, merchants are not required to manually collect or input beneficiary bank account information. Instead, DOKU automatically generates and sends a secure link to each beneficiary via email. The recipient can then submit their banking details directly through this link at their convenience.
### Integration Steps
Here is the overview of how to integrate with Payout Link:
1. [Initiate Payout Link](#post-v1-payout-initiate)
2. [Check Payout Link Status](#post-v1-payout-status)
### Payout Link Status Mapping
Here is the possible value of Payout Link Status and the description:
| PENDING | Payout link initiated successfully. |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| EMAIL\_SENT | Payout link email notification is sent. |
| EMAIL\_LINK\_OPENED | Payout link opened through email. |
| PENDING\_PROCESS | Payout link confirmation process has failed and will be retried. |
| CONFIRMED | Payout link is confirmed, payment/remit request is sent to beneficiary and on process. |
| COMPLETED | Payout link payment/remit request has been processed successfully. |
| FAILED | Payout link payment/remit request has been retried 3 times and still failed. |
| EXPIRED | Payout link is expired because it's never opened. |
