Webhooks

You can specify multiple webhook URLs when creating your Payment Intents, Refunds, or Payouts. There is no way to specify webhook URLs from the dashboard; the list of webhooks must be provided on each resource creation that supports them.

By default each endpoint receives every event. To receive only a subset, set the events array on that webhook endpoint (for example ["payment.success"]). The type, status, and sub_status fields are always present, so you can also filter in your own code.

Authentication

On each webhook endpoint you can provide an optional secret, which is sent in a header named Orchestrapay-Webhook-Secret so you can authenticate the request.

Delivery and retries

We POST each event to your endpoints in real time. A delivery is successful only when your endpoint returns a 2xx status code within 3 seconds. Return the status code before running any heavy processing: if your endpoint takes longer than 3 seconds we abort the connection and count the delivery as failed, as we do for any non-2xx response, redirect, or connection error.

When a delivery fails we retry it with exponential backoff for up to 3 days, after which we stop. In a sandbox we retry a few times over a few hours. Each endpoint you configured is delivered to, and retried, independently.

Deliveries are at-least-once: the same event may arrive more than once, and events are not guaranteed to arrive in the order they occurred. Use the envelope id (evt_...) to deduplicate, and rely on each object's status rather than delivery order to determine the current state.

Payload

The core of the webhook payload has the same properties, albeit each status or sub-statuses may have additional properties.

You can find the exhaustive list of payloads in the Webhook Payloads page.
