Payment Webhook Operations for Online Stores

Map the event to the system it updates

Separate events sent by your store from payment events sent by the gateway. Record the expected source, destination, and action for successful payments, refunds, and other events your integration uses. Confirm which provider instructions govern delivery and how your team can inspect logs.

Reconcile before reprocessing an event

If an order did not update, compare the payment status with the provider record and inspect available event delivery logs. Review whether a notification arrived more than once or out of sequence. Ask your integration owner how duplicate delivery is handled before replaying an event.

Monitor what matters after launch

• Track the rate of successful deliveries and orders whose statuses differ from the gateway.
• Assign an owner for cases that remain unresolved past the expected update window.
• Keep logs free of card numbers or credentials, and retain only the details needed to match the order and event.
