Key Benefits of the External Trace ID

  • Improved transparency for payout tracking across multiple platforms.
  • Easier reconciliation of payout data with external financial records.
  • Enhanced troubleshooting capabilities for payment-related queries.

This added functionality aims to simplify financial management and improve interoperability with third-party payment systems.
