Record Payments
Report payments collected from debtors.
Payment Flow
When recording a payment, specify who received it and how to allocate between creditor and your commission. Debitura handles revenue share calculations automatically.
Payment Recipients
| Recipient | When to Use | Commission |
|---|---|---|
CollectionPartner | Debtor paid you directly | Automatically marked paid |
Creditor | Debtor paid creditor directly | You specify: paid or unpaid |
Platform | Payment through Debitura | Automatically marked paid |
When the debtor pays the creditor directly, you must indicate whether the creditor has settled your commission. Update via the Portal when they do.
Allocation Rules
Payouts must sum to the payment amount (within rounding tolerance). The system validates this before accepting the payment.
Closing with Payment
Set closeCase: true on the final payment to automatically close the case as Paid. This requires total payments to be >= the outstanding amount — if they are not, you will receive a 400 error.
To close a case with partial recovery, use the separate POST /cases/{id}/close endpoint with closeCode: "PartiallyPaid" instead.
For endpoint details and all fields, see Create Payment.
