Best practice: Webhooks
Track transfers by listening to webhooks.
This page explains how to view payout-related transfer details using your Customer Area and the Transfers API.
In your balance platform, transfers represent funds that are credited or debited from a balance account. Before any money movement occurs, payout-related transfers must be:
- Initiated according to your managed or custom payout schedule configuration, cashout, or on-demand payout request.
- Authorized by Adyen.
- Booked.
You can track the status and details of transfers to support your business operations. For recurring operations, such as scheduled payouts, 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.
