Webhooks

Webhooks help to get notified about events related to the Leatherback payment flow such as payments.

Webhooks are one way that a web application can send information to another application in real time when a specific event happens.

You can use Leatherback Webhooks to configure and receive notifications when a specific event occurs outside your application landscape. for example, a pending payment transitioning to a successful state. When one of these events is triggered, we send an HTTP POST payload in JSON to the webhook's configured URL.

These events are all asynchronous in nature—they are not triggered by your application, so you won't know when they are completed unless we notify you or you check later. Setting up a webhook allows us to notify you when these payments are completed Within your webhook endpoint, you can then: trigger an Email to a customer when a payment fails or Update your relevant records when the status of a pending payment is updated to successful.
