API Reference

Webhooks are an important part of your payment integration. They allow Etegram notify you about events that happen on your account, such as a successful payment or a failed transaction.

A webhook URL is an endpoint on your server where you can receive notifications about such events. When an event occurs, we'll make a POST request to that endpoint, with a JSON body containing the details about the event, including the type of event and the data associated with it.

Structure of a webhook payload`

All webhook payloads (except virtual card debits) follow the same basic structure:

  1. an event field describing the type of event
  2. a data object. The contents of this object will vary depending on the event, but typically it will contain details of the event, including:
    i. an id containing the ID of the transaction
    ii. a status, describing the status of the transaction
    iii. payment or customer details, if applicable

Here is a sample webhook payloads for successful payment:
