# Payout method configuration

This page describes how to configure which payout methods are displayed to the customer in a payout form and the order in which they are displayed.

Rules are configurations that are triggered by events, such as a customer requesting a payout. When a customer requests a payout, the ready to payout event is triggered, and depending on the configuration in the rule, the payout method configuration is applied. Creating payout method configurations adds rules to the ruleset of the [Ready to payout requested](/docs/automations/event-types#ready-to-payout-requested) event.

## Copy payout method configuration rules into a draft ruleset

Each event maintains a list of rules and binds that are to be executed under specified conditions when the event occurs. These lists are called rulesets. Rulesets are executed in the order they are listed on the event. Draft rulesets provide a means of testing and comparing changes with the active ruleset before publishing. To edit draft rulesets, see [Edit draft rulesets](/docs/automations/rules-and-binds#edit-draft-rulesets).

1. In the left navigation bar, press .
2. In the **Payment forms** section, press **Payout method configuration**.
3. Press **Copy into draft**.
4. In the **Name** field, enter a name for the draft ruleset.
