# Release payout

Release `On hold` payouts.

This endpoint allows you to release a payout form On hold status so that it can be processed. Note that only payouts with 'On hold' status can be released. **The service will not release the payout if it is in On Hold state due to fraud compliance**.

You need to complete the fields `login` and `pass` with your`x_login` and `x_trans_key` credentials. Find them in the Merchant Dashboard, under the [Settings > Integration](https://dashboard.dlocal.com/settings/integration) section.
