Adyen sends webhooks to inform your system about events that occur in your balance platform. These events include when a card user makes a payment with their Adyen-issued card, or when a merchant starts a refund. To learn how to set up a webhook, see Configure and manage webhooks.
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 funds movement (funds added to or deducted from balance accounts).
- A dispute was raised for a transaction made with an Adyen-issued card.
You can subscribe to the following webhooks:
- Configuration
- Payment method
- Transfer
- Dispute
- Negative balance warning
- Report
You can also 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.
