Use Case: Set Up a Scheduled Withdrawal Flow for New Merchant Accounts
You can automatically add a recurring withdrawal of funds when creating or boarding a new Merchant account by setting up a withdrawal flow. This tutorial walks you through the steps to schedule a withdrawal flow associated with one of your groups, so that all new Merchants added to that group will automatically receive the same withdrawal schedule.
