When a payout is triggered in your platform, Adyen sends the following kinds of webhooks:
- balancePlatform.transfer.created, which informs your server that an outgoing transfer is initiated from a balance account in your platform.
- balancePlatform.transfer.updated, which informs your server of the transfer status changes.
This page explains how to identify webhooks related to card payouts and shows examples for the webhooks that you receive for every transfer status.
Requirements
To keep track of payout-related events in your balance platform, ensure that:
- Your server can receive and accept webhooks.
- You subscribed to Transfer webhooks and Transaction webhooks in your Balance Platform Customer Area.
Identify payout-related webhooks
You can identify transfer webhooks triggered by payout-related events by looking at the following values:
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| category | Specifies the category of the transfer. | card |
| direction | The direction of the transfer based on the balance account. | outgoing |
| type | Specifies the type of the transfer. | cardTransfer |
Adyen sends webhooks for the following payout events:
The following sections provide code samples for the events that trigger webhooks. These samples consider a use case where you pay out EUR 100.00 from a balance account to a Mastercard or Visa card.
Payout initiated
When your user initiates a transfer to a Mastercard or Visa card, Adyen sends a balancePlatform.transfer.created webhook to inform your server that an outgoing transfer request has been created. The webhook provides information about the transfer, such as:
- The
amountof the payout - The
referencefor the payout - The
referenceForBeneficiary - Your user's
balanceAccountfrom which the funds will be deducted - Details of the
accountHolderlinked to your user's balance account. - Details of the
counterpartyin the transfer, which is your user's transfer instrument. - The
bookingDatewhen the payout was requested. - The
idof the corresponding transfer.
The following tabs show examples of balancePlatform.transfer.created webhooks for one-off and recurring payouts.

Payout authorised
When the transfer request for the payout is authorised, Adyen sends a balancePlatform.transfer.updated webhook to inform your server that the transfer amount has been reserved on the account. This webhook includes the status authorised.
The following tabs show examples of balancePlatform.transfer.updated webhooks for one-off and recurring payouts.
Payout booked
When the funds are deducted from your user's balance account, Adyen sends a balancePlatform.transfer.updated webhook with:
direction: outgoingstatus: bookedevents.transactionId: ID of the transaction
This status is not final. The transfer may still fail if, for example, the transfer is rejected by the scheme or issuing bank.
The following tabs show examples of balancePlatform.transfer.updated webhooks for one-off and recurring payouts.

Payout pending
After the funds are deducted from your user's balance account, the transfer is automatically analyzed to ensure that it complies with Adyen's policies. If a transfer is flagged, Adyen reviews the transfer.
In order to speed up the screening process and reduce the amount of manual effort needed, we recommend that you provide as much information as possible in the transfer request. For example, include all counterparty details in the accountHolder object.
In this case, Adyen sends a balancePlatform.transfer.updated webhook with a tracking event, specifying the following trackingData details:
status: pendingtype: internalReview

If the transfer fails Adyen's review process, we send a balancePlatform.transfer.updated webhook with a tracking event, specifying the following trackingData:
reason: refusedForRegulatoryReasonsstatus: failedtype: internalReview
If this is the case, contact our Support Team.
Payout failed
The payout transfer can fail if it is rejected by an external banking system and any automatic retries are unsuccessful.
When a payout transfer fails, Adyen sends a balancePlatform.transfer.updated webhook with:
status: failed- The
transactionId - The
reasonfor the failure. For more information, see Reason codes.
