# Vendor On-Demand Settlements

> Configure Cashfree Easy Split vendor on-demand settlements so vendors request payouts whenever they need them and instantly transfer their available balance.

You can settle the balance to a vendor on-demand from the [Merchant Dashboard](https://merchant.cashfree.com/auth/login) or through the [On-Demand Transfer API](/api-reference/payments/latest/split/settlements/on-demand-transfer). The on-demand settlements are processed through **RTGS**/**IMPS** rails. Cashfree Payments levies a small fee : **On Demand Service Charge** to process these settlements.

There are two types of On-demand settlements in Easy Split,

* On-demand settlement based on interval
* On-demand settlement based on the amount

## Initiate on-demand settlement based on interval

1. Go to **Payment Gateway Dashboard** > **Easy Split** > **Vendors** > **Settle Now**.
