# Overview

> Payments represent actual transfers of rewards to the payout address associated with a given statement.

<Danger title="This API has been replaced by the Rewards Engine API">
  The [Rewards Engine API](/api-reference/endpoints/payout-groups/overview) replaces this API, offering additional capabilities including automated reward distributions, flexible payout group management, and claim scheduling.

  New customers should use the [Rewards Engine API](/api-reference/endpoints/payout-groups/overview) instead.
</Danger>

Payments are made on-chain to a specified payout address. Payments tie 1:1 with a statement amount.

## Key Features

* Use the `ref_id` to link payments to statements
* Payments are made on-chain to specified payout addresses
* One-to-one relationship between payments and statement amounts

## Additional Notes

> Some fields (e.g., `account_id`, `profile_id`) are populated for consistency but are not relevant to reward-specific flows.

## Availability

*These endpoints are only relevant for Global Dollar Network (GDN) partners.*
