# Track payout item status
You can track the status of the individual payout items in a payout batch.
Use a valid access token and make a GET call to the `/v1/payments/payouts-item/{PAYOUT-ITEM-ID}` endpoint.
**Path parameter**: `PAYOUT-ITEM-ID` is the `payout_item_id` returned as part of the payout batch details response.

A successful call returns a `200 OK` response. The response includes the `transaction_status` parameter, which indicates the current status of the payout item.
The following table summarizes the possible values of `transaction_status` and what they mean:
| Status | Description | Possible management action |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `SUCCESS` | PayPal has completed processing the payout and credited the money to the recipient's account. | No action required. |
| `FAILED` | The payout has failed. PayPal does not deduct money from your account. | Review the failure reason and create a new payout request if needed. |
| `PENDING` | PayPal is processing the payout. | Check the status again later. |
| `UNCLAIMED` | The recipient has not claimed the payout. This typically occurs when 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. For more information, see Handle unclaimed payouts. | Notify the recipient to claim the payout. |
| `RETURNED` | PayPal has returned the money to your account. This occurs when the recipient does not claim the payout or you cancel it. | Create a new payout request if needed. |
| `ONHOLD` | PayPal has temporarily placed the payout on hold. | Check the status again later. |
| `BLOCKED` | PayPal has blocked the payout. | Review the reason, resolve the issues, and create a new payout request if needed. |
| `REFUNDED` | The recipient has refunded the payout. PayPal returns the money to your account. | No action required. |
| `REVERSED` | PayPal has reversed the payout. PayPal returns the money to your account. This status is specific to payouts created through web uploads. | No action required. |
