Best practice: Webhooks

Track transfers by listening to webhooks.

This page explains how to view transfer details using your Customer Area and the API.

In your balance platform, transfers represent funds that are credited or debited from a balance account. Before any money movement occurs, transfers must be:

  1. Initiated by events such as sending or receiving funds from third-party accounts.
  2. Authorized by Adyen.
  3. Booked in your business account.

You can track the status and details of transfers to support your business operations. For recurring operations, such as reconciling fund transfers, we recommend that you listen to webhooks.

In other cases, you can view transfer details by using the Transfers page in your Customer Area or by making a GET /transfers request.
