Outbound Authorisation
Create outbound authorisations for making payments to suppliers or vendors.
How it works
- Payment Initiation: Similar to inbound payments, the In Force authorisation is used to initiate a payment to the supplier. This usually involves creating a Payment record in Salesforce and linking it to the authorisation. Unaric Payments then uses the stored bank details to send the payment via the chosen payment method (e.g., bank transfer).
- Verification and Compliance: Outbound authorisations often require additional verification steps, especially for compliance with regulations like PSD2. This involves confirming the supplier's bank account details and MFA via email.
- Managing Supplier Details: The authorisation record stores the supplier's bank details, which can be updated as needed.

Create outbound authorisation
- Go to the Unaric Payments Authorisations tab.
- Click New and select Outbound as record type.
- Complete the authorisation details. Click Save.
- The authorisation record will be created with the Awaiting Submission status.
Submit outbound authorisation
- Select the authorisation record and click Submit for Verification. This will submit an outbound authorisation to the account on this record via the PSP. Click Submit for Verification to confirm.
- The record will be submitted for verification. An email will be sent to the user to authenticate the Authorisation to confirm the record and if the details are valid.
- Open the link within the email to confirm the authorisation. The record information will be sent to Airwallex for processing.
- If there are issues, the record status will be set to Failed and an error message will be displayed. If successful, the status will change to In Force and the authorisation will be eligible for processing outbound payments.
Process authorisation internally
- On the Unaric Payments Authorisations tab, select the authorisation.
- Click the Process Authorisation button in the action bar.
- Fill in the payment information and click Update authorisation. After submitting the form, details of the authorisation will then show in the authorisation's page. Sensitive payment method information is tokenized by the PSP and isn't shown.
