# Track payout item status

You can track the status of the individual payout items in a payout batch.

1. Use a <a href="/developer/how-to/api/get-started#2-get-an-access-token" target="_blank">valid access token</a> and send a GET request to `/v1/payments/payouts/{id}`. <br />
   **Path parameter**: `id` is the payout batch ID returned as part of the <a href="/growth/payouts/send-money/use-payouts-api#2-create-payout-batch" target="_blank">Create payout batch</a> response.<br />
   **Response**: On successful processing, PayPal returns the `payout_item_id` for all items in the payout batch.
2. Use a <a href="/developer/how-to/api/get-started#2-get-an-access-token" target="_blank">valid access token</a> and send a GET request to `/v1/payments/payouts-item/{payout_item_id}`.
   **Path parameter**: `payout_item_id` is the payout item ID returned in the previous step.<br />
   **Response**: On successful processing, PayPal returns the `transaction_status` of the payout item.

The following table summarizes the various values of `transaction_status` and what they mean:

| Status      | Description                                                                                                                                           |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `PENDING`   | PayPal processes your payout. The recipient receives the money after processing.                                                                      |
| `SUCCESS`   | PayPal credits money to the recipient's account.                                                                                                      |
| `UNCLAIMED` | The recipient does not have a PayPal or Venmo account. PayPal sends a signup link, and the payout status remains unclaimed until claimed or returned. |
| `REFUNDED`  | The recipient refunds the payout. PayPal returns the money to your account.                                                                           |
| `FAILED`    | The payout fails. PayPal does not deduct money from your account.                                                                                     |
| `ON_HOLD`   | PayPal reviews the payout. The payout stays temporarily on hold.                                                                                      |
| `BLOCKED`   | PayPal blocks the payout request.                                                                                                                     |
| `DENIED`    | PayPal denies the payout. PayPal does not deduct money from your account.                                                                             |
| `RETURNED`  | PayPal returns the money to your account. This happens if the recipient does not claim the payout or you cancel it.                                   |
