Finances -> Payouts -> Transfer reference - how to get this number?

Retired Boards Appdev Graphql Basics And Troubleshooting

Topic summary

Seeking a way to retrieve the Shopify Payments “Transfer reference” number via API (Application Programming Interface)—either GraphQL or REST—for bookkeeping.

  • Current capability: Not available via any API, per a community reply.
  • Request: Add this field to the REST endpoint /admin/api/2023-10/shopify_payments/payouts.json for programmatic access.
  • Shopify response: Staff acknowledged the need and forwarded the request to product teams for consideration in future updates.

Status: Unresolved. No existing API field/endpoints provide the Transfer reference; it’s a feature request pending potential roadmap inclusion.

Notes: An attached screenshot illustrates the Transfer reference as shown in the Shopify admin payouts UI, which is the identifier the requester wants to access programmatically.

Can you add it into Todo list ? We need it for bookkeeping.

it will be good if it will appear in

Hey @MrSmit , thanks for that requests. I’ve shared your feedback with our product teams that adding this to the API would be useful in your bookkeeping so they can consider this for future updates!

Thanks again.
