Payment webhooks (deprecated)

When your user receives or sends funds, Adyen sends webhooks to inform your server of these events.

On this page, you'll find examples of webhooks for:

• Incoming funds from a third-party bank account.
• Outgoing funds to a third-party bank account.

Incoming funds

When an Adyen business account receives funds from a third-party bank account, Adyen sends two webhooks.

1. balancePlatform.incomingTransfer.created: There is a pending incoming transfer.
2. balancePlatform.incomingTransfer.updated: The status of the incoming transfer was updated. For example, the funds are now available in the Adyen business account.

Pending incoming transfer

In the balancePlatform.incomingTransfer.created webhook, you can find the following:

• amount object: The currency and value of the incoming funds.
• counterparty: Information about the originating bank account.
• accountHolder and balanceAccount objects: Information about the recipient account holder and balance account.
• referenceForBeneficiary: If the sender included a reference in their transfer, you'll find those values here.
• status: PendingIncomingTransfer. This means that the funds are not yet available in the Adyen business account.

Incoming transfer status updated

Next, Adyen sends a balancePlatform.incomingTransfer.updated webhook. This webhook contains the same information as the balancePlatform.incomingTransfer.created webhook. The only difference is the status, which is now IncomingTransfer. This means that the funds have been added and are now available in the Adyen business account.

Outgoing funds

When you transfer funds from an Adyen business account to a third-party bank account, Adyen sends three webhooks. These webhooks are the same types that Adyen sends when you pay out to a transfer instrument.

1. balancePlatform.payment.created: A transfer was initiated.
2. balancePlatform.outgoingTransfer.created: The funds were deducted from the Adyen business account.
3. balancePlatform.outgoingTransfer.updated: The status of the outgoing transfer was updated. For example, the transfer was sent or the transfer failed.

Outgoing funds transfer initiated

After you make a successful funds transfer request, Adyen sends a balancePlatform.payment.created webhook to your server. Here you can find the values that you sent in the POST /transfers request, such as the:

• amount object: The amount of funds that you requested to transfer. The amount.value shows a negative sign, indicating that funds will be deducted from the Adyen business account.
• accountHolder and balanceAccount objects: Information about the source account holder and balance account.
• referenceForBeneficiary: The reference that you want to send to the recipient, if you included any in the request.
• reference: Your reference for the transfer, if you included any in the request. If you haven't included this in the request, Adyen generates a unique reference.

Funds deducted from balance account

Next, Adyen sends a balancePlatform.outgoingTransfer.created webhook. Here you can find the same information as in the balancePlatform.payment.created, as well as:

• counterparty: Information about the recipient bank account.
• status: OutgoingTransfer. This means that funds have been deducted from the Adyen business account.

Outgoing funds transfer status updated

Lastly, Adyen sends the balancePlatform.outgoingTransfer.updated webhook. This webhook contains the same information as the balancePlatform.outgoingTransfer.created webhook. The only difference is the status, which can now be any of the following:

• TransferConfirmed: The transfer was confirmed and will be sent out.
• TransferFailed: The transfer failed. The funds are returned to the Adyen business account.
• TransferSentOut: The funds have been sent out. Even when funds have been sent out, the transfer can still fail at the recipient bank. When this happens, the funds are returned to the Adyen business account. Adyen informs your server of the incoming funds.
