Events
Learn about the structure of events and when they are created.
When something noteworthy happens in your account, we create a data object. More specifically, an event is created when the state of another API resource changes. Your integration can use these events to listen for and handle important updates in your account.
In the Commerce APIs, there are numerous event types that you can subscribe to when you create or edit a webhook. You can choose what you want to monitor from the list of event types.
To subscribe to an event, you must set up webhooks that send designated events directly to an endpoint on your server. You'll find a complete list of our supported event types in Global Commerce. To access this list, sign in to Global Commerce, select Administration, and click Webhook Service.
The name of the event usually reflects the current state of the resource. For example, when a subscription moves into the created state, we create a
subscription.created
event; when a subscription moves into a renewed
state, we create a subscription.renewed
event.In the payload of an event, the data object typically contains the resource that changed. For example, the data object of a
subscription.created
event is a subscription
in the created state.Last modified 1mo ago
