Webhook

Introduction

‌

Webhooks are HTTP callbacks that notify you of all events you subscribed for on an entity.‌

Events can be payments, state changes to payments or transactions connected to a payment (e.g. a chargeback).‌

For PCI compliance, SSL connections using untrusted certificates are not allowed. Please ensure you have a valid SSL certificate chain. Self-signed certificates are not valid.‌

Availability

​Title	​Title
Delay	Near real-time. What does near real-time mean?​
Request timeout	If we don't receive a response within 30 seconds, the message is considered timed out. It will then be scheduled for retry.
Retries	In case of a failed delivery we store a failed notification for a limited period of time and try sending it again later. Retries are sent at increasing time intervals until either the message is accepted or the maximum retry period of 30 days has been exceeded. After this time the transaction still can be looked up via the reporting endpoints or the BIP. Retry-intervals: 1 minute 2 minutes 4 minutes 8 minutes 15 minutes 30 minutes 1 hour every hour until 30 days have passed since the first attempt.
Beyond the retry period	Every day you would receive an summarized email with the newest 100 failed notifications sent to the list of emails configured for this listener. The notifications that were queuing up for the last thirty days will be deleted. You still can get these contents by using the other reporting tools of the platform.
Guarantee on message order	​ There is no guarantee on the order of messages. If you first send request A and then request B, you might retrieve a notification first on B then on A, especially if... The time difference between the messages is smaller than the time it takes us to process them The receiving server was unavailable for a time. Once the server is up again new notifications will arrive in real time, old notifications however would only be resent once they are retried in the rhythm as specified above.
Required Client server power	Please make sure that your server for receiving notifications is able to properly receive the peak-loads that can be caused by the transaction processing on entities you're listening to. Example: If there is a transaction processing peak of 30 transactions/second then you would receive around 30 notifications/second on your webhook URL as well. We recommend asynchronous processing and a receiver cache for scenarios like this.
