Webhooks

Create a New Webhook Endpoint

We send a POST request to the URL defined in the webhook endpoint. Here is an example of what a request body looks like:

{
  "trigger": "order.created",
  "created_at": "2022-02-03T02:23:47.404Z",
  "ident": "8ed1bae2-9ca4-4c3c-8fee-669334c783da",
  "signature": "a871c6067afef4cb7040c0b445f7df0503067d7af41dc95e554c47da94a553260c29051d377f5b5447f060a2d0833745177facfeb8c43daa96e9b181bc66cd88",
  "testing": false,
  "webhook_content": {
    "order_ids": [
      "CA-A949-E43D48E1",
    ]
  }
}

Validate the authenticity of the webhook call using the signature and the private key. To do this, combine the fields trigger, ident, and the private key into a string as in the example and encrypt it with SHA512. The resulting encrypted string must match the signature.

Retrieve Private Key

const validation = sha512(request.body.trigger + request.body.ident + your_private_key);

if (request.body.signature !== validation) {
  return response.status(401).send() //Unauthenticated
}
