On this page, you'll find information about:
- The general webhook structure.
- The types of webhooks.
You'll also learn about which webhook types are sent based on which event.
Webhook structure
In general, the body of a webhook contains the following objects.
| Parameter | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
data |
Object | Object that contains information about the event. |
environment |
String | The environment where the transaction was processed—test or live. |
type |
String | The webhook type. |
The information contained in the data object varies and depends on the webhook type. You can find the full schema for each type in API Explorer.
Below is an example request body for a webhook of type balancePlatform.accountHolder.created.
Webhook types
Webhooks are typically sent when:
- A resource was created or updated.
- A request was initiated (such as a payment authorisation request, a refund request, or a funds transfer request).
- There was a fund movement (funds added to or deducted from balance accounts).
You can differentiate the events based on the type. Some webhook types also include a data.status field that informs you of the outcome of the event.

Transfer webhooks
Transfer webhooks inform your system about incoming and outgoing transfers in your platform.
