The Payout Method API lets receivers create and manage payout methods. Senders can generate quotes based on these receiver payout methods by enabling the flag enable_quote_per_payout_method in the body of the [Create quote collection] request. Caution: The existing quote parameter is named payment_method while elsewhere it is payout_method.Note: On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) receivers should set payment_method to the outlet_id or the string none (not an empty value) to keep funds at the destination exchange when paying out to a local rail.
