​
Overview

Webhooks provide real-time notifications when payment and request events occur, enabling immediate response to status changes without constant polling.

​
Event Categories

Payment Events

Core events: confirmed, partial, failed, refundedImmediate notification when payments are processed or fail

Processing Events

Crypto-to-fiat: payment.processing with detailed subStatusTrack multi-step fiat conversion progress

Request Events

Recurring: request.recurringAutomatic subscription renewal generation

Compliance Events

KYC & verification: compliance.updated, payment_detail.updatedUser verification and bank account status changes

​
How It Works

Process:
  1. Event occurs: Payment confirmed, request created, compliance updated
  2. Secure delivery: HMAC SHA-256 signed POST to your configured endpoint
  3. Your processing: Verify x-request-network-signature, update application state
  4. Reliable delivery: 3 retries (1s, 5s, 15s delays) with 5-second timeout

​
Key Features

​
Reliability

  • Idempotency support: Use x-request-network-delivery header for duplicate detection
  • Delivery confirmation: Monitor x-request-network-retry-count header to track attempts

​
Security

  • HMAC SHA-256 signatures: Every webhook includes x-request-network-signature header
  • HTTPS required: Production endpoints must use secure connections
  • Test webhook identification: x-request-network-test header for development

​
Development Tools

  • Portal testing: Send test webhooks from Request Portal
  • ngrok integration: Receive webhooks locally during development
  • Comprehensive logging: Request API logs all delivery failures with attempt details

​
Common Use Cases

  • Invoice systems: Automatically mark invoices as paid when payment.confirmed received
  • Order fulfillment: Release goods or services immediately after payment confirmation
  • Subscription management: Handle request.recurring for automatic billing renewals
  • Compliance workflows: Update user permissions when compliance.updated shows KYC approval
  • Real-time dashboards: Display live payment status using payment.processing subStatus values
