This endpoint does not support the `merchant` facade" - api

Question

I have set up the bitpay API in PHP, I created a merchant token. for testing purpose, I have set up bitcoin core testnet wallet. But when I create payout to send bitcoin to my testnet wallet, I give me exception of "This endpoint does not support the merchant facade". My code for creating key,
$storageEngine = new \Bitpay\Storage\EncryptedFilesystemStorage('mypassword');
$privateKey = $storageEngine->load('bitpay.pri');
$publicKey = $storageEngine->load('bitpay.pub');
$client = new \Bitpay\Client\Client();
$network = new \Bitpay\Network\Testnet();
$adapter = new \Bitpay\Client\Adapter\CurlAdapter();
$client->setPrivateKey($privateKey);
$client->setPublicKey($publicKey);
$client->setNetwork($network);
$client->setAdapter($adapter);
$sin = \Bitpay\SinKey::create()->setPublicKey($publicKey)->generate();
try {
$token = $client->createToken(
array(
'facade' => 'merchant',
'label' => 'Demo',
'id' => (string) $sin,
)
);
$pairingCode = $token->getPairingCode();
$createdToken = $token->getToken();
$this->ci->dashboard->addSettings('bit_token', $createdToken);
echo $pairingCode;
} catch (\Exception $e) {
return $response;
}
But when i crate a payout, then it gives me exception.

I've dived into similar issue and it looks that to access Payouts API you have to use PAYROLL facade. You can find more info in the docs
