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:
- Initiated by events such as processing payments, paying out to your users, or moving funds between balance accounts.
- Authorized by Adyen.
- Captured, in payment events, or booked, in other events.
You can track the status and details of transfers to support your business operations. For recurring operations, such as reconciling payments, 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.
Requirements
To view transfer details, ensure that you have the required permissions:
- To use your Customer Area, your user account needs the Balance platform base role.
- To make a GET /transfers request, your API credential needs the TransferService Webservice Retrieve role.
