Transaction webhooks

Find out which webhooks Adyen sends for transfers in your platform.

After Adyen has transferred funds between your account and a counterparty, Adyen sends two types of webhooks:

balancePlatform.transfer.updated, which informs your server that the status of the transfer is booked.
balancePlatform.transaction.created, which informs your server that Adyen deducted or credited the funds to your account.

This page shows examples of the Transaction webhooks that you would receive when sending or receiving funds.

Requirements

To keep track of transactions related to transfers in your platform, ensure that:

Your server can receive and accept webhooks.
