# Webhook Reference

## Introduction

With Moyasar's webhooks, you can stay in the know about payment events in real time. Set up webhooks by specifying a notification URL. Choose the specific events you want to be alerted about, such as successful payments or refunds. Then, handle these events in your application to stay updated on payment activity. It's that easy!

## Payment Events

Payment events provide valuable information about the status and progress of your payments. By utilizing webhooks for these events, you can ensure **real-time** updates and effective management of your payment processes.

| Payment Event        | Description                                                                                                       |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `payment_paid`       | Get notified when a payment is successfully processed, indicating that the transaction is complete.               |
| `payment_faild`      | Receive alerts when a payment attempt fails, indicating the transaction was unsuccessful.                         |
| `payment_refunded`   | Stay updated when a payment is refunded, indicating that the funds have been returned to the customer.            |
| `payment_voided`     | Be notified when a payment is voided, indicating that the transaction has been canceled or invalidated.           |
| `payment_authorized` | Get notified when a payment is authorized, indicating that the funds have been reserved for the transaction.      |
| `payment_captured`   | Receive alerts when a payment is captured, indicating that the authorized funds have been successfully collected. |
| `payment_verified`   | Stay updated when payment is verified, indicating that the payment details have been successfully validated.      |

## Card Authentication Events

Card authentication events report the outcome of a standalone 3D Secure
authentication (`card_auth`). See the [3D Secure guide](../../../guides/3d-secure/standalone-authentication.mdx)
and the [Card Authentication API](../../card_auths/01-create-card-auth.api.mdx).

:::note
Standalone 3D Secure is enabled only for selected merchants.
:::

| Card Authentication Event | Description                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `card_auth_authenticated` | Fired when a standalone authentication completes successfully. The `data` payload is the card authentication object. |
| `card_auth_failed`        | Fired when a standalone authentication fails or expires. The `data` payload is the card authentication object.       |

## Configure webhooks on your account

To register a webhook on your account follow this [guide](../../../guides/dashboard/setting-up-webhooks.md)

## Handling webhook request

### Return a 2xx response

Your endpoint must quickly return a successful status code (2xx) before any complex logic that could cause a timeout. For example, you must return a `2xx` response before updating a customer's invoice as paid in your accounting system.

### Retry Strategy

If the webhook recipient does not return a `2xx` HTTP code we will retry to send the webhook 5 more times and then drop the message.

| Attempt Number | Send Time  | Time to wait when delivery fails |
| -------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------- |
| 1              | Immediate  | 1 minute                         |
| 2              | 1 minute   | 10 minutes                       |
| 3              | 10 minutes | 30 minutes                       |
| 4              | 30 minutes | 1 hour                           |
| 5              | 1 hour     | 2 hours                          |
| 6              | 2 hours    | Message is dropped               |

## The Webhook Object

| Attribute      | Type    | Description                                                              |
| -------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `id`           | string  | The event's unique ID.                                                   |
| `type`         | string  | The type of the event (payment_paid,...).                                |
| `created_at`   | string  | The time the webhook object was created.                                 |
| `secret_token` | string  | The endpoint's secret is assigned by the consumer to secure the webhook. |
| `account_name` | string  | The name of the account in which the event occurred.                     |
| `live`         | boolean | True if the payment is in live mode or false if it is in test mode.      |
| `data`         | object  | The payload associated with the event — a payment for `payment_*` events, or a card authentication for `card_auth_*` events. |

## Example: `card_auth_authenticated`

The `data` payload matches the [Fetch Card Authentication](../../card_auths/02-fetch-card-auth.api.mdx) response. A `card_auth_failed` event carries the same shape, with `status` set to `failed`.
