FAQ

Who can approve a payout?

An operator with payout permission. A payout you create over the API or in the dashboard does not go straight to the chain — it lands in pending_approval, and a person with the right permission releases it from the dashboard. Only after that release does halfin sign the transaction and broadcast it. The approval is recorded against the operator who made it, so every release is attributable rather than anonymous.

halfin FAQ — how crypto payments work end to endHow halfin invoicing, checkout, deposit addresses, payouts, conversion, and webhooks work. Browse every question or read the cross-cutting answers.Is there an audit trail of operator actions?Yes — who did what is recorded against the operator who did it: approving a payout, creating a key, running a conversion. Machine activity is tied to the key that made the request.How do I add a team member?Team access is operator-level: you invite each person from the dashboard, and every action they take is attributed to them in the audit log. No shared logins.Are API keys scoped?Yes. A halfin API key carries only the permissions you grant it, scoped to the operations it needs — a read or invoice key cannot release payouts.Are API requests rate limited?Yes. Public auth endpoints are rate limited per IP and authenticated API-key requests are limited too. Design clients to back off and retry idempotently.Are crypto payments final?Yes — a confirmed on-chain transfer is irreversible and there are no chargebacks. Finality is a property of the chain, which is what makes reconciliation clean.Are there chargebacks with crypto payments?No. A confirmed on-chain payment is final, so there are no card-style forced reversals.
