Webhook Events
Webhooks serve as a mechanism that enables real-time communication between different your application and Pay Advantage
Webhooks allow you to receive Pay Advantage events to endpoints that you host. The current list of events are detailed below. Please check from time to time as these will be updated occasionally.
Release date for refund and chargeback webhook: 18th June 2024
If you need to manage chargebacks, you can no longer rely on identifying failed payments. Instead, you will need to listen to the new refund webhook. The data payload will indicate whether the webhook pertains to a refund or a chargeback based on the type.
Webhook Event Data
Webhook Events now include the resource that the event relates to by including the Data attribute in the request body. The schema exactly matches the PayAdvantage API for each type of resource. For example, if a payment.created event occurs, the Data attribute will include the payment that was created, and it will be identical to the data you would have received by making a request to the API by using the ResourceUrl.
It is important to note that when processing Webhook Events, the Data attribute contains a copy of the resource from a point in time when the event was sent, not when the event occurred. Under most scenarios this shouldn't pose a problem, you should just be aware that the copy of the resource is not a point in time capture from when the event occurred.
