Payouts are used on the platform to process financial transactions between intigriti and its researcher community. This FAQ document will describe the entire lifecycle of a payout from creation to actual payment.

When a company accepts one of the researchers' submissions, this will automatically trigger the payout creation. Since the company confirms the vulnerability to be valid, the researcher will be entitled to 100% of the bounty immediately.

If applicable, the company or intigriti can decide to award a bonus to certain researchers. Upon awarding a bonus, a payout will be created in the application.

Bonuses are paid out regardless of submission status.

A payout can have different states while it is processed, each indicating the next best actions to be taken in order to progress payment of the amount due.
