# How It Works
### **1. Preparing the CSV file**
On the **Mass payout** page, click **Download template** to get the CSV file structure.\
This template defines the exact fields the system expects.
⚠️ It is important to follow both the **order** and the **number** of columns.
Example below.

### **2. Creating a Batch**
To start a new Mass payout:
1. Click **Create Mass payout**.
2. Upload the prepared CSV file using **Browse** or drag-and-drop.
3. Optionally specify:
* **Name** – e.g. *“September salaries”*
* **Client Order ID** – a unique internal identifier for the batch.\
(These fields are optional but help identify the batch later.)
4. Click **Upload**.
After upload, the system automatically creates a **Batch** containing all the orders from the CSV file.
### **3. Validation**
Each order in the Batch undergoes a series of validation checks, including:
* Matching currency to the selected blockchain.
* Checking payout limits.
* Verifying available balance.
* Validating amount formats and precision.
Optional fields can also be included per order:
* **Client Order ID (CID)**
* **Comment** (e.g. *“Payment to Max”* or *“Refund for cherries”*).
If all checks are passed, the order receives the status **READY TO PROCESS**.\
If validation fails, it is marked as **REJECTED**, and the reason appears in the order details.
### **4. Managing a Batch**
All batches are listed in the **Mass payouts** table.\
Click **See details** to view all orders inside a Batch.\
Click an individual order to open its detailed information.
The top of the Batch view displays a **summary**, including:
* Creation date
* Total number of orders
* Current status
In the **Estimated to Pay** block, total payout amounts are displayed by currency, for example:
* 20 USDT
* 0.5 TRX
* 50 BTC
### **5. Approving payouts**
Once all orders are validated and reviewed:
1. Click **Approve**.
2. A sidebar will appear requesting **OTP codes** for confirmation.
3. After successful confirmation, the Batch begins processing — all **READY TO PROCESS** transactions are submitted to the blockchain.
