Settlement Webhook Events | Cashfree Payments

We broadly send two types of notifications when a payout happens.

Payout to Merchant account
Payout to Vendor account (if you are using Easy Split)

Settlement Webhook

This webhook is triggered whenever there is a payout to your merchant account. The settlement webhooks will notify you about instant settlements in addition to the standard settlement webhooks. We send webhooks for four different events for a settlement.

Webhook event	Description
SETTLEMENT_INITIATED	This webhook will be triggered when a settlement is initiated.
SETTLEMENT_SUCCESS	This webhook will be triggered when a settlement is successful.
SETTLEMENT_FAILED	This webhook will be triggered when a settlement has failed.
SETTLEMENT_REVERSED	This webhook will be triggered when a settlement has been reversed.

The following webhook is sent for other types of settlements as well: instant settlement or an on-demand settlement.
