Overview

Authorize a vendor's payout detail for payment processing. Once authorized (and payout method is enabled), the vendor is ready to receive payouts.

Example: Approve a vendor's bank account details after verifying them.

Important Behaviors

• Sets authorization_status to 'authorized' and records the timestamp and who authorized it.
• Idempotent: Authorizing an already-authorized payout detail overwrites the timestamp and authorized_by.
• Audit logged: The authorization is recorded in the audit log.
• Webhook: Triggers the vendor_payout_detail.authorized webhook event.
