Tether USDT Bulk Payouts: How to Resend Failed Items

November 12, 2026

Blog
FAQs

For teams that run recurring USDT bulk payouts and need a rule for each unsuccessful item, Cobo Payments Bulk Send reports a final status for every item in a batch. A Completed item was transferred; a Failed or NotExecuted item did not complete. The batch webhook reports the batch outcome but not the item list, so a team must retrieve item details before creating a replacement request. Teams can select Strict when one validation failure must stop the request, or Partial when validated items should continue.

Cobo Payments Bulk Send reports a status for the batch and for each item, with batch updates delivered through events.

Final item status

What happened

Next action

Completed

The item was transferred.

Record it and exclude it from any resend.

Failed

The item did not complete.

Check the item details before deciding to resend.

NotExecuted

The item was not executed.

Correct the cause before resending.

The batch webhook, payment.bulk_send.status.updated, fires when a batch reaches Completed, PartiallyCompleted or Failed. The same event may be delivered more than once, so deduplicate events before updating records. To see which items failed, call List bulk send items.

In Cobo Payments, the cause of an item's failure determines the correction required before creating a new batch.

Failure type

What to do

Address failed KYA validation

Replace the address, then resend in a new batch.

Another item failed validation under Strict

Fix the item that failed, then resend all items in a new batch.

An item stopped because another item failed under Strict has no problem of its own. Correct the affected entry before including all items in the new batch.

In Cobo Payments, some items should not be resent unchanged.

Failure type

What to do

Address failed KYA validation

Do not send to this address again. Remove or replace it.

Completed item in a Partial batch

Do not resend. It has already been transferred.

Cause unclear from item details

Pause the resend decision and contact Cobo with the batch and item details.

A validation_status of ValidationFailed means the address did not pass Cobo Know Your Address (KYA) validation. Replace the address before creating another eligible payout item.

In Cobo Payments, the batch webhook reports whether a whole bulk payout ended as Completed, PartiallyCompleted or Failed.

Batch outcome

What to do

Strict batch failed validation

All items are NotExecuted. Fix the items marked ValidationFailed, then create a new batch with all items.

Strict batch failed during transfer

Some items may already be transferred. Check each item's status instead of resending all items.

Partial batch ended PartiallyCompleted

Exclude Completed items and resend only eligible failed items.

Affected recipients are not listed in the batch webhook. Call List bulk send items when the next action depends on an individual item.

Cobo Payments Bulk Send execution modes determine which entries belong in the next request.

For a Strict batch stopped by validation:

  1. Find entries with validation_status: ValidationFailed.

  2. Correct the affected addresses or parameters.

  3. Create a new bulk payout containing all items.

If a Strict batch fails during the transfer step after some items have been transferred, check each item's status instead of resending all items.

For a Partial batch:

  1. Exclude Completed items.

  2. Check the status and cause for every Failed or NotExecuted item.

  3. Apply the correction or stop rule.

  4. Create a new batch containing only eligible failed items.

Successful items in a Partial batch have already been transferred. Resubmitting only eligible failed items reduces the risk of duplicate transfers.

Recurring USDT payouts that need an item-level resend rule can rely on Cobo Payments Bulk Send, which reports a final status for every item. Completed items were transferred; Failed and NotExecuted items did not complete. Use the batch webhook to learn the batch outcome, then call List bulk send items for item details. Replace addresses that fail KYA validation, and contact Cobo when the cause is unclear. Resubmit all items after a Strict validation failure; after a Partial result, or a Strict batch that failed during transfer, check each item and submit only eligible failed items.

Cobo Payments batch events and item details provide the statuses used for these decisions.

Can a NotExecuted item be resent unchanged?

It depends on the cause. If the item was stopped because another item failed validation under Strict, resend it unchanged with all other items once the faulty entry is fixed. If the item's own address or parameters caused the failure, correct it first.

Is the fee refunded when an item fails?

Check each item's final status and the batch's commission_fee field, and confirm how fees are handled for your account with Cobo.

What should a team do when an address fails KYA screening?

An item with validation_status: ValidationFailed has an address that did not pass KYA validation, and that address should not receive another payout. Replace the address under the team's payout process. For Strict, create a new batch with all items after correction; for Partial, include only eligible failed items.
