# Create Cashgram

You can create Cashgrams from your Payouts Dashboard or from the APIs. Ensure you have sufficient balance in your Payouts Account before you create a Cashgram. The amount will be deducted from your Payouts Account to send money to your customers.

To create a Cashgram,

1. Go to **Payouts Dashboard** > **Cashgram** > **Cashgrams** > click **NEW CASHGRAM**.
2. Enter the **Cashgram Id**, **Customer Name**, **Amount** to be transferred, **Customer Phone**, and **Customer Email**. The Cashgram Id helps you to track the Cashgram status.
3. Select an **Expiry** date. The Cashgram link will not be valid beyond this date.
4. Enter the Remarks.
5. Select the checkbox **Send Cashgram Link via WhatsApp, Email, and SMS** **to user** to notify the customer.
6. Click **CREATE**. The Cashgram link is created and sent to the customer. The customer can click the link and provide the required details to receive the payment.

<Tip>
  You can also use our API to create Cashgrams. Check the API documentation for more details.
