Webhook Best Practices

Security: Implement authentication mechanisms to verify that incoming requests are genuinely from Stax. Consider using unique identifiers.

Error Handling: Ensure your endpoint gracefully handles errors and logs them for troubleshooting.

Retries: Implement a retry mechanism for failed webhook deliveries, as Stax may attempt to resend notifications if your endpoint is unreachable.

Common Webhook Events in Stax

In the Stax platform, webhooks can be set up for various important events, such as:

  • Creating or updating transactions
  • Creating invoices or deposits
  • Managing customers, disputes, and team members
  • Notifications related to merchant onboarding and activation

These webhook events keep your systems in sync with critical activities, providing seamless communication between your application and the Stax platform.


How to make my webhook more secure.

You can make your webhook more secure by including tokens within the target URL. This provides an additional layer of security against individuals who may attempt to spoof a webhook call to your system.
