Webhooks and status updates
We use webhooks to notify you the moment a transaction changes its status.
Before you enable webhooks
- Create a webhook endpoint on your server (HTTP endpoint)
- Make sure it accepts POST requests with a JSON payload
Configure Webhooks
To start receiving webhook notifications, you can specify a webhook URL when sending the API request for creation of a checkout. Here's a sample request:
{
"storeId": "12345678",
"transactionType": "SALE",
"transactionAmount": {
"total": 25,
"currency": "EUR"
},
"checkoutSettings": {
"webHooksUrl":"https://webhook.site/50d0a452-2785-45fb-ab7a-468cf21d4f36"
}
}
Here's what a webhook event will look like when received on the specified request URL:
Examples:
{
"retryNumber": 0,
"storeId": "12345678",
"checkoutId": "5qnq1E",

}
}
Retry mechanism
If the call to the webHooksUrl fails, then the gateway will retry 3 times.
In case there's no status update for a transaction (e.g. if customer has closed the browser after redirect to a 3rd party provider), the gateway runs a scheduled job for every transactions that are older than 9 minutes but not older than 6 hours. The webhooks will then also be sent to the webHooksUrl.
Handling of edge cases
In certain instances, the webhook may not function as intended. We highly recommend implementing a transaction inquiry via the Retrieve checkout details endpoint if the status remains 'WAITING' for more than 5 minutes, with retries scheduled every few minutes up to a maximum of 30 minutes. You can use the checkoutId from the initial response to Create a new checkout endpoint. This approach guarantees that the final status of the transaction is retrieved without requiring additional back-office operations
Example:
GET .../checkouts/{checkoutId}
