Webhooks

Webhooks provide a way to receive real-time notifications about events occurring within your Digital River account. These notifications are sent via HTTP POST requests, allowing your application to respond immediately to changes, even those not initiated through direct API interactions. Setting up one or more webhook endpoints ensures your system stays updated and synchronizes seamlessly with Digital River events, facilitating efficient and engaging app experiences.

Digital River can send webhook events that notify your application whenever an event occurs in your account. This mechanism is especially useful for events that are not triggered by a direct API request and for services that are not directly responsible for making an API request but still need to know the response to that request.

Register webhook URLs, and we will notify you of any event in your account. When the event occurs, Digital River creates an Event object.

This Event object contains all the relevant information about what happened, including the event and the associated data. Digital River then sends the Event object, via an HTTP POST request, to any endpoint URLs you have defined in your account’s Webhooks settings. You can have Digital River send a single event to many webhook endpoints.

200 OK. Returns an event object if a valid identifier was provided. All events share a common structure. The only property that will differ is the data property. The data dictionary's values will be the same as retrieving the same object directly from the API. For example, a charge.created event will have the same information as retrieving the relevant charge would.
