Frequently asked questions

Ceven automates the lifecycle of virtual accounts by linking the Flutterwave API to your user database. When a user triggers a sign up event, the agent calls the create virtual account endpoint and stores the resulting account number in your CRM. It then listens for incoming transfer events to that specific account. Once the funds land, the agent updates the user balance in your system and sends a notification. This removes the need for users to upload proof of payment screenshots, as the agent verifies the transaction in real time via the Flutterwave ledger.
Yes. Ceven can pull balances for every currency your Flutterwave account supports. The agent can be programmed to monitor specific currency thresholds and alert you when a balance is low or trigger an internal transfer. Because it can access both available and ledger balances, it provides a true picture of your liquidity. You can create workflows that automatically convert balances or notify your finance team when a specific currency wallet exceeds a certain amount, ensuring you optimize your foreign exchange exposure across different African markets.
Ceven uses Flutterwave subaccounts to automate marketplace payouts. When a transaction occurs, the agent can configure the split ratio so that a percentage goes to the vendor subaccount and the remainder goes to your main account. The agent monitors the transaction timeline to ensure the split is successful. If a payment fails or is flagged, the agent can automatically pause further disbursements to that subaccount and alert your compliance team. This allows you to scale a marketplace without manually calculating and sending individual payouts to hundreds of different vendors.
Yes. Ceven can initiate and track mobile money payments, including specific integrations for markets like Tanzania. The agent handles the collection of customer phone numbers and initiates the charge request. It then polls the transaction status or waits for a webhook to confirm the payment was successful before triggering downstream actions like digital product delivery or service activation. This enables a seamless checkout experience for customers who do not use traditional bank accounts or credit cards but rely on mobile wallets for their daily transactions.
Flutterwave imposes rate limits on API requests to ensure platform stability. If a Ceven workflow attempts to pull thousands of transactions or create hundreds of virtual accounts in a very short window, you may encounter a 429 too many requests error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will automatically wait and retry the request. To avoid this, we recommend using webhooks for real time updates rather than frequent polling of the retrieve transactions endpoint for large volume accounts.
Yes. Instead of manually adding bank details in the Flutterwave dashboard, Ceven can pull beneficiary information from your internal database or a verified KYC form. The agent then calls the create beneficiary endpoint to save the details. Once the beneficiary is created and confirmed, the agent can proceed to initiate a transfer. This is particularly useful for payroll or vendor payment workflows where the recipient list changes frequently, as it ensures that bank details are passed directly from your system of record to the payment gateway without manual entry errors.
Ceven uses a combination of the transaction timeline and webhook listeners. While a simple status check tells you if a payment is successful or failed, the transaction timeline provides the full history of the event, including when the payment was initiated, when it reached the processor, and when it was settled. The agent can be configured to watch for specific timeline events and trigger different workflows based on the result. For example, a payment that stays in pending for over an hour can trigger an automated email to the customer asking them to complete the transaction.
Yes. Ceven can initiate refunds by calling the appropriate Flutterwave endpoints. The agent can be set up to trigger a refund based on a status change in your order management system. Before issuing the refund, the agent can pull the original transaction details and calculate the associated fees to ensure the correct amount is returned. It can then update your internal ledger and send a confirmation email to the customer with the refund reference number, providing a fully closed loop process for handling returns and cancellations.
