Wave Payout API

Programmatic disbursement API for sending money from a business wallet to individual Wave wallets, identified by E.164 mobile number. Supports single payouts, payout batches (submit many at once and poll batch status), payout reversal, payout lookup by id or client reference, and a verify_recipient pre-flight check. All POST requests require an Idempotency-Key header for safe retries. Used for bulk payroll, gig economy payouts, marketplace seller settlement, humanitarian cash transfer programs, and refunds out-of-band of the original payment.
