Payout webhook

Learn about the outcomes of your payout requests.

Payouts to bank accounts or wallets

To know whether a payout to a bank account or wallet was successful, you need to set up a webhook. The response to a /submitThirdParty request only indicates that the request has been received, not whether the payout was successful.

The following eventCodes are important when you make payouts to bank accounts or wallets:

  • PAYOUT_THIRDPARTY: The user reviewing the payout confirmed it. The success field indicates whether we received the payout request. Possible values:

    • success: true. We received your payout request, and will send it to the financial institution. When approved, the funds are paid out within 2 business days. In case the financial institution rejects the request, you will receive a webhook event with eventCode: PAIDOUT_REVERSED.
    • success: false. The request failed. The reason field includes a short description of the issue. Review the reason, fix the issue if possible, and resubmit the payout request.

  • PAYOUT_DECLINE: The user reviewing the payout declined it. The success field of this webhook event is always set to true.

  • PAYOUT_EXPIRE: 7 days have passed since the payout was submitted, and the reviewer has neither confirmed nor declined it. The success field of this webhook event is always set to true.

  • PAIDOUT_REVERSED: The financial institution rejected the payout. We will return the funds back to your account.

Instant payouts

When making instant payouts to a card, you will get a response to your /payout request with resultCode: Received. For a successful payout, you will then receive a webhook event with:

  • eventCode: PAYOUT_THIRDPARTY
  • success: true

If the issuer refuses the payout, you will receive a webhook event with:

  • eventCode: PAYOUT_THIRDPARTY
  • success: false

Code examples

The following example shows a PAYOUT_THIRDPARTY webhook event with success: true.

{

    "notificationItems" : [

                    "currency" : "EUR"
                 },
