Overview
Create HTTPS callbacks via a POST request, commonly called webhooks or push notifications
Webhooks allow Cake Capital to provide instant, real-time notifications to your application when events occur in your Cake Capital account. This is particularly beneficial for handling asynchronous events where the outcome isn't immediate after an API call or an action, like payment status changes, cancellations, and chargebacks.
By using webhooks, you can keep your system updated without the need for constant polling. This not only enhances the efficiency of your application but also ensures that you are promptly informed about important events, such as inbound payments, transaction status changes or account updates. Integrating webhooks into your workflow streamlines processes and improves overall system responsiveness.
You can configure your webhook URL's separately for both the SANDBOX and the LIVE environment and this process can be done either from your Cake dashboard or via API calls. We would cover both of this approaches in detail in the upcoming sections.
