Notification kindsanchor

The notification kind, returned by calling kind on the notification object, reveals what triggered the webhook. The webhookNotification.getKind() for Disbursement webhooks will be one of the following:

  • WebhookNotification.Kind.DISBURSEMENT
  • WebhookNotification.Kind.DISBURSEMENTEXCEPTION
  • WebhookNotification.Kind.TRANSACTIONDISBURSED

The following table describes the conditions that trigger each kind of webhook.

Notification Type Description
disbursement

Braintree-funded merchant accounts only
We have sent a disbursement to your account (meaning it will leave our bank account today). The difference between this and a transaction_disbursed webhook is that this is sent per merchant account per day, rather than per transaction.

disbursement_exception

Braintree Marketplace master merchants only
A disbursement to one of your sub-merchants has failed.
This webhook is not triggered when we attempt to disburse funds to a Venmo account that does not exist. See our Braintree Marketplace Funding article for details.

transaction_disbursed

Braintree-funded merchant accounts only
Deprecated
A transaction has been marked for disbursement (meaning it will leave our bank account today).
