Best practice: Webhooks
Track transfers by listening to webhooks.
This page explains how to view payment and transfer details using the API and your Balance Platform Customer Area.
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 paying with an Adyen card or adding funds to a balance account.
- 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 making a GET /transfers request or using the Transfers page in your Balance Platform Customer Area.
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.
