About Webhook

Webhook in Xendit works to let your application or website know when events happen.

In Xendit, webhook works when a payment has been processed successfully by Xendit, or refunded or failed, so your system can act accordingly based on the payment status. 

Webhook URL Set Up Criteria 

In order to handle a webhook, you only need to build a small web application that can accept the HTTP requests. If you already have a web application set up, handling a webhook is usually as easy as adding a new URL to your application.

To be able to set up webhook URL in Xendit, your business application/website needs to fulfill several criteria listed below:

1. A LIVE (Public) Website URL;
2. Have HTTPS;
3. No localhost (localhost://invoice-paid);
4. No Port (invoice.com:4444/paid.);
5. No IP in webhook URL (1.1.1.1);
6. Able to send back a response with the status after webhook has been received;
7. Able to specify the webhook endpoint for the product.

Webhook Set Up Guide

Below are few simple steps to set up webhook URL in Xendit: 

via Dashboard

1. Sign in or sign up to your Xendit Account
2. Make sure you are on the right environment ("Live Mode" or "Test") on the toggle on the top left corner
   • Put the toggle in "Live Mode" if you wish to generate API for Live / Production Mode where you will integrate to transact with real money;
   • Put the toggle in "Test Mode" if you wish to generate API for Test / Sandbox Mode where you will integrate just to do transaction testing with fictional money;
3. Once logged in to your Xendit Dashboard, choose 'Settings'
4. Click 'Webhook' section on Settings Page
5. Enable auto-retry for failed webhook.
   • This should be done to have a better experience in handling your webhook
6. Obtain your webhook verification token.
   • Click View "Webhook Verification Token";
   • Enter your password;
   • Keep that token inside your server side. 
   • This token will be used to verify message authenticity later on.  
7. Set up your webhook URL.
   1. Choose which product (payment method) that you want to set the webhook URL for;
   2. Fill up your URL handling for the webhook under the webhook URL section according to the product (payment method) you are going to use in Xendit.
   3. In order for you to setup a webhook, you must have a webhook URL to listen to webhook;
      1. In this context, we will use Invoice as a journey example for your webhook;
      2. In this example, we are  using https://hendry-sukses.com/webhook.php as an example for your reference.
8. Click save and test.

      1. This is normal and expected, because you might not yet set the listener for the webhook URL set, we’ll cover that later.
