It's dope? Somehow get payment (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deposit

'payment' is the definition.
(I know that deposit is a type of payment)

'it's dope? somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'its'+'dope'='itsdope'
'itsdope' anagrammed gives 'DEPOSIT'.

'get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for deposit that I've seen before include "Sum of money paid into a bank account" , "is one back on the bottle?" , "Plant" , "Lodge money in bank account" , "Drop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
