Combining APIs and Webhooks
Internal Transfers
The Create a Payment endpoint is used to move money from one Modulr account to another Modulr account.
On the sending account (payer) there will be a payment and debit transaction and the PAYOUT webhook will trigger.
On the receiving account (payee) there will be a payment and a credit transaction and the PAYIN webhook will trigger.
Information is available via Get Payments for types of payments, status, etc.
Get Transactions provides all processed credits / debits against a single accountId.
Payments Out
The same Create a Payment endpoint is used to make a payment from a Modulr account to an external bank account.
On the sending Modulr account (payer) there will be a payment and debit transaction and the PAYOUT webhook will trigger via an update from the Faster Payment or SEPA scheme confirming success of each individual payment made. The Payment record is updated with the scheme reference.
Information is available via Get Payments for types of payments, status, etc.
Get Transactions provides all processed credits / debits against a single accountId.
