Paystack Webhooks

Webhooks let Paystack push real-time event notifications to your server. They are the recommended way to confirm payment status — more reliable than client-side callbacks or polling.

Depends on: paystack-setup for environment configuration.

How Webhooks Work

Customer pays → Paystack processes → Paystack POSTs event JSON to your webhook URL
                                   → Your server validates signature
                                   → Returns 200 OK immediately
                                   → Then processes the event asynchronously

Endpoints

Your webhook URL is a POST endpoint you create on your server. Register it on the Paystack Dashboard under Settings → API Keys & Webhooks.
