Payment webhooks
For information on which payment webhooks Adyen sends for internal transfer-related events, see Payment webhooks (deprecated).
When an internal transfer is triggered between balance accounts in your platform, Adyen sends two kinds of webhooks:
- balancePlatform.transfer.created, which informs your server that funds will be transferred between balance accounts in your platform.
- balancePlatform.transfer.updated, which informs your server of changes in the status of the transfer.
For each event you receive two webhooks:
- A webhook for the source balance account, where the push or pull transfer request is initiated, and is an outgoing request.
- A webhook for the target balance account, where the push or pull transfer request is received, and is an incoming request.
To keep track of events related to internal transfers in your platform, make sure that:
- Your server can receive and accept webhooks.
- You subscribed to the Transfer webhooks in your Balance Platform Customer Area.
You can identify transfer webhooks triggered by internal funds transfer requests by the following values:
Parameter | Description | Value |
---|---|---|
category | The category of the transfer. | internal |
direction | The direction of the transfer request. | outgoing for the balance account that pushes or pulls funds incoming for the balance account where funds are pushed to or pulled from |
type | The type of internal transfer. | internalTransfer for a push transfer internalDirectDebit for a pull transfer |
Internal push transfer
For an internal push sweep or on-demand push transfer, you receive webhooks for the following events:
- The transfer is initiated.
- The transfer is authorized. This indicates that the funds are reserved.
- The transfer is booked.
You receive these webhooks for each of the balance accounts involved in the transfer.
The following is an example push transfer request:

If needed, you can return the funds to the source balance account if the funds were received through an internal push transfer. The following is an example return request.
