Receive webhook events

MONEI notifies your server when something happens to a payment, refund, or subscription — so you can fulfill orders, update your database, or send receipts without polling. There are two ways to receive these notifications.

Account webhooks

Account webhooks send every event you subscribe to, across all your activity. Configure them in Dashboard → Settings → Webhooks:

  1. Add a webhook endpoint URL — an https:// URL on your server.
  2. Select the event types you want to receive.
  3. Enable it.

You can add more than one endpoint — for example, one for payments and another for subscriptions.

Each delivery is a JSON event envelope:

{
"id": "evt_...",
"type": "charge.succeeded",
"object": {"id": "...", "status": "SUCCEEDED"}
}

Read type to know what happened, and object for the affected resource (a payment, refund, or subscription).

Payment callback (callbackUrl)

When you create a payment, you can set a callbackUrl. MONEI then sends the Payment object directly (not an envelope) to that URL when the payment reaches a final state — even if the customer closes their browser during the redirect. Use this when you only care about a specific payment's result.

See Verify signature for ready-to-use Node, PHP, and Python examples that handle the callback.

Event types

A charge is a payment, so charge.* events track the payment lifecycle.

GroupEvents
Payments (charges)charge.succeeded, charge.failed, charge.pending, charge.pending_processing, charge.authorized, charge.captured, charge.canceled, charge.expired, charge.refunded, charge.partially_refunded, charge.paid_out, charge.chargeback, charge.updated
Refundsrefund.succeeded, refund.failed, refund.pending
Subscriptionssubscription.activated, subscription.updated, subscription.canceled, subscription.paused, subscription.past_due, subscription.trialing, subscription.pending, subscription.expired

Verify every request

Every webhook and callback includes a MONEI-Signature header — an -SHA256 signature computed with your API key. Always verify the signature before trusting the payload, then respond with a 200 status to acknowledge receipt.

If you're a MONEI Connect partner, configure webhooks in the Partner Dashboard instead — see MONEI Connect for developers.
