Steps
Create a LegalEntity via POST /legalentities on the Adyen Balance Platform API, supplying the entity type (individual or organization) and KYC data.
Create an AccountHolder linked to the LegalEntity via POST /accountholders; this represents the seller in the platform.
Create a BalanceAccount linked to the AccountHolder via POST /balanceaccounts; specify default currency.
Add a TransferInstrument (bank account) for payout via POST /transferinstruments linked to the LegalEntity, then associate it with the BalanceAccount.
Configure a SweepConfiguration on the BalanceAccount via POST /balanceaccounts/{id}/sweeps to define the sweep schedule, target amount, and destination TransferInstrument.
Monitor balancePlatform.accountHolder.updated and balancePlatform.balanceAccount.updated webhooks for status changes.
Known gotchas
Adyen KYC verification is asynchronous; the AccountHolder's verification status transitions through states — only enable payouts after the status reaches verified.
Sweep configurations use a schedule (e.g., daily at a certain time) or a trigger threshold — choose based on your payout frequency requirements and communicate the timing to sellers.
Transfer instruments must be verified by Adyen before they can be used for payouts; expect a delay between adding the bank account and it becoming eligible.
