Validate your webhook​

To validate your webhook, you send HTTP GET request.

curl -X GET "https://dev-api.payments.ai/v1/webhook-destinations/:webhookID" \
     -H "Authorization: ApiKey your_api_key_here" \
     -H "Accept: application/json"

Test your webhook​

To test your webhook, you can send a HTTP POST request to create a new transaction.

curl -X POST "https://dev-api.payments.ai/v1/organizations/:organizationID/transactions" \
     -H "Authorization: ApiKey your_api_key_here" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
          "type": "sale",
          "customerId": "string",
          "currency": "AED",
          "amount": 0,
          "paymentInstruction": {
          "token": "string"
          }
         }'

If the webhook has been successfully registered, you will receive a webhook event response with the following details:

type Event = {
  deduplicationId: string; // unique identifier for the event, used to prevent duplicate events
  type: string;
  organizationId: string;
  metadata: {
    amount: number;

    refundableAmount: number;
    currency: string; // USD, EUR, etc.
