Fiable Pay Webhooks

Okay, let’s break down these Fiablepay webhook events in a simple, clear way, using points and examples. Think of these webhooks as automatic notifications that Fiablepay sends to your system about what’s happening with payments.

What Are Webhooks?

Imagine you have a mailbox, and instead of checking it constantly, you get a notification on your phone whenever new mail arrives. Webhooks are like that notification system for your website or application. When something happens in Fiablepay (like a payment being made), Fiablepay sends a message (the webhook) to your specified URL. This message gives you detailed info on what just happened.

Fiablepay Webhook Events: An Overview”

Fiablepay sends two main categories of webhook events for your checkout process:

Checkout Status Events: These events tell you about changes to the overall status of a checkout (like if a payment has been fully made).
Payment Attempt Events: These events notify you about the status of individual payment attempts (like if a card payment was successful or failed).

1. Checkout Status Events

checkout.paid:

What it means: This webhook is triggered when the overall payment status of the checkout changes to “paid”. This means the full payment has been received.
When you get it: Once the payment is completed.

Example:

{
  "type": "checkout.paid",
  "created_at": 1678886400,
  "data": {
    "id": "chk_123xyz",
    "object": "checkout",
    "payment_status": "paid",
    "amount": "100.00",
    "invoice_currency": "USD"
    // ... other checkout details
  },
  "id": "evt_randomid",
  "object": "event"
}

Use case: You can use this webhook to mark the order as completed and begin processing the shipment.

2. Payment Attempt Events

payment_attempt.created:

What it means: A new payment attempt has started for the checkout.
When you get it: Immediately after a customer initiates a new payment.

Example:

{
  "type": "payment_attempt.created",
  "created_at": 1678886400,
  "data": {
    "id": "pat_123abc",
    "object": "payment_attempt",
    "payin": "pay_456def"
    //...other payment attempt details
  },
  "id": "evt_randomid",
  "object": "event"
}

Use case: You could use this to update your UI, letting your customer know that the payment is in progress.

payment_attempt.failed:

What it means: The payment attempt was unsuccessful.
When you get it: When the attempt fails.

Example:

{
  "type": "payment_attempt.failed",
  "created_at": 1678886400,
  "data": {
    "id": "pat_123abc",
    "object": "payment_attempt",
    "payin": "pay_456def"
    //...other payment attempt details
  },
  "id": "evt_randomid",
  "object": "event"
}

Use case: Display an error message to the user and give them a chance to try another payment method.

payment_attempt.processing:

What it means: The payment attempt is now in the process of being verified or transferred.
When you get it: When the attempt enters this processing state.

Example:

{
  "type": "payment_attempt.processing",
  "created_at": 1678886400,
  "data": {
    "id": "pat_123abc",
    "object": "payment_attempt",
    "payin": "pay_456def"
    //...other payment attempt details
  },
  "id": "evt_randomid",
  "object": "event"
}

Use case: You might use this to display an animated loading screen to your customer while waiting for confirmation.

payment_attempt.succeeded:

What it means: The payment attempt was successful.
When you get it: When the payment is done successfully.

Example:

{
  "type": "payment_attempt.succeeded",
  "created_at": 1678886400,
  "data": {
    "id": "pat_123abc",
    "object": "payment_attempt",
    "payin": "pay_456def"
    //...other payment attempt details
  },
  "id": "evt_randomid",
  "object": "event"
}

Use case: Update your system with the successful payment details and start your business process.
