# Create a Payout Request

Use this method to create a new Payout Request, which is a request for a payment you wish to send to your customer.

Once you have created the Payout Request, you can fulfill it using BlockBee's [Dashboard](https://dash.blockbee.io/),
or by using BlockBee API.

**Method:** `GET`

**Path:** ```
https://api.blockbee.io/{ticker}/payout/request/create/
```

---

## Parameters

### Path Parameters

- **`ticker`** (`string`) (required): The `ticker` parameter in this API request refers to the unique identifier of the cryptocurrency to which you are making the request. It is included in the URL of the request and helps to specify the exact cryptocurrency that you want to retrieve data for. The ticker is typically a short code that uniquely identifies the cryptocurrency, or the token and it's network/blockchain.

For example, `btc` is the ticker for Bitcoin, and `trc20/usdt` is the ticker for USDT over TRC-20. Having this in mind, a request for USDT over TRC-20 will look like this: `https://api.blockbee.io/trc20/usdt/create/`.

**Notes:**
* You can find all our tickers in our [cryptocurrencies](https://blockbee.io/cryptocurrencies) page.
* Our Payouts system does not support `doge`.
