Overview

The retry endpoint allows you to reattempt a failed transfer that is marked as retriable within a bulk transfer batch. This is useful when transfers fail due to temporary issues like network problems or bank system downtime.
Only transfers with retryable: true in their status can be retried. Non-retriable failures (like invalid account numbers) cannot be retried.

Retry Limits

  • Maximum 3 retry attempts per transfer
  • 5-minute wait period between retries
  • 24-hour maximum retry window from initial failure
  • Retries count towards daily transfer limits

​
Status Transitions

  1. Initial failed status: failed with retryable: true
  2. After retry request: processing
  3. Final status:
    • Success: succeeded
    • Failure: failed (may be retriable again)

​
Webhook Events

Monitor these events for retry status:
  • bulk.transfer.retry.started - Retry attempt initiated
  • bulk.transfer.retry.succeeded - Retry completed successfully
  • bulk.transfer.retry.failed - Retry attempt failed

​
Best Practices

  1. Retry Strategy
    • Implement exponential backoff between retries
    • Track retry attempt count
    • Consider time of day for retries
    • Monitor success rates by failure reason
  2. Error Handling
    • Log all retry attempts
    • Track retry outcomes
    • Handle webhook notifications
    • Monitor retry limits
  3. User Communication
    • Notify users of retry status
    • Provide clear error messages
    • Suggest alternative actions for non-retriable failures
    • Set expectations for processing time
