Webhook Event Types

Complete reference guide to all webhook event types available in Omise, with detailed payload examples and integration guidance.

Overview

Omise sends webhook events for various payment and account activities. Each event contains:

Event key: Unique identifier for the event type (e.g., charge.complete)
Event ID: Unique identifier for this specific event occurrence
Created timestamp: When the event occurred
Data object: Full resource object related to the event
API version: Version of the Omise API used

Event Categories

Events are organized into these categories:

Charge Events - Payment creation, completion, and status changes
Customer Events - Customer profile creation and updates
Card Events - Credit/debit card creation and updates
Refund Events - Refund creation and completion
Transfer Events - Transfer creation, updates, and settlements
Recipient Events - Recipient profile creation and updates
Dispute Events - Dispute creation, updates, and resolutions
Link Events - Payment link creation and payments
Schedule Events - Scheduled task creation, completion, and expiration

Charge Events

Charge events track the lifecycle of payment charges from creation to completion or failure.

Best Practices

Event Processing

Verify signatures for all webhook events before processing
Respond quickly (within 10 seconds) to avoid retries
Process asynchronously using background jobs or message queues
Implement idempotency to handle duplicate events safely
Log all events for debugging and audit trails

Error Handling

// Comprehensive error handling
app.post('/webhooks/omise', async (req, res) => {
  const eventId = req.body.id;
  const eventKey = req.body.key;
  
  try {
    // Verify signature
    if (!verifySignature(req)) {
      logger.error('Invalid signature', { eventId, eventKey });
      return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid signature' });
    }
    
    // Check for duplicate events
    const isDuplicate = await cache.exists(`event:${eventId}`);
    if (isDuplicate) {
      logger.info('Duplicate event ignored', { eventId });
      return res.status(200).json({ received: true });
    }
    
    // Mark as received
    await cache.setex(`event:${eventId}`, 86400, '1');
    
    // Respond immediately
    res.status(200).json({ received: true });
    
    // Process asynchronously
    await queue.add('webhook', req.body, {
      attempts: 3,
      backoff: { type: 'exponential', delay: 2000 }
    });
    
  } catch (error) {
    logger.error('Webhook processing error', {
      eventId,
      eventKey,
      error: error.message,
      stack: error.stack
    });
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
  }
});

Data Validation

# Validate webhook data
from marshmallow import Schema, fields, ValidationError

class ChargeSchema(Schema):
    id = fields.Str(required=True)
    amount = fields.Int(required=True)
    currency = fields.Str(required=True)
    status = fields.Str(required=True)
    metadata = fields.Dict()

def validate_webhook_data(event):
    try:
        if event['key'].startswith('charge.'):
            ChargeSchema().load(event['data'])
        # Add more schemas for other event types
        return True
    except ValidationError as err:
        logger.error(f'Invalid webhook data: {err.messages}')
        return False

@app.route('/webhooks/omise', methods=['POST'])
def handle_webhook():
    event = request.json
    
    if not validate_webhook_data(event):
        return jsonify({'error': 'Invalid data'}), 400
    
    # Process valid event
    process_webhook(event)
    return jsonify({'received': True}), 200

Testing Event Handlers

# RSpec tests for webhook handlers
RSpec.describe 'Webhook Handlers' do
  describe 'charge.complete' do
    let(:charge_complete_event) do
      {
        'key' => 'charge.complete',
        'data' => {
          'id' => 'chrg_test_123',
          'amount' => 100000,
          'currency' => 'THB',
          'status' => 'successful',
          'metadata' => { 'order_id' => '1234' }
        }
      }
    end
    
    it 'updates order status to paid' do
      order = create(:order, id: '1234', status: 'pending')
      
      handle_webhook(charge_complete_event)
      
      expect(order.reload.status).to eq('paid')
    end
    
    it 'sends confirmation email' do
      order = create(:order, id: '1234')
      
      expect {
        handle_webhook(charge_complete_event)
      }.to have_enqueued_job(OrderConfirmationEmailJob)
    end
    
    it 'reduces product inventory' do
      order = create(:order, id: '1234')
      product = create(:product, stock: 10)
      create(:order_item, order: order, product: product, quantity: 2)
      
      handle_webhook(charge_complete_event)
      
      expect(product.reload.stock).to eq(8)
    end
  end
end

Troubleshooting

Event Not Received

Check these common issues:

Webhook endpoint not configured - Verify in dashboard
Endpoint not accessible - Test with curl
SSL certificate invalid - Check certificate validity
Firewall blocking requests - Check security rules
Event type not subscribed - Verify event subscriptions

Duplicate Events

Implement idempotency to handle duplicates:

// Using Redis for idempotency
async function processWebhook(event) {
  const eventId = event.id;
  const key = `webhook:processed:${eventId}`;
  
  // Check if already processed
  const exists = await redis.exists(key);
  if (exists) {
    console.log(`Event ${eventId} already processed`);
    return;
  }
  
  // Process event
  await handleEvent(event);
  
  // Mark as processed (expire after 7 days)
  await redis.setex(key, 7 * 24 * 3600, '1');
}

Slow Processing

Optimize webhook processing:

Use message queues for async processing
Batch database operations
Cache frequently accessed data
Profile slow operations
Scale horizontally if needed

FAQ

What happens if I don't respond to a webhook in time?

Omise considers the delivery failed and will retry according to the retry schedule. Respond within 10 seconds to avoid retries.

Can I receive webhooks for test mode events?

Yes, configure separate webhook endpoints for test and live modes. Test webhooks are sent to test mode endpoints.

Subscribe to "All Events" initially, then monitor which events you're actually processing. Refine subscriptions to reduce noise.

Are webhooks guaranteed to arrive in order?

No, webhooks may arrive out of order due to network conditions or retries. Always check the created_at timestamp to determine event sequence.

What should I do if I receive an unknown event type?

Log the event and respond with 200 OK. This ensures forward compatibility when Omise adds new event types.

Can I manually trigger webhook retries?

Yes, use the Omise dashboard to view recent deliveries and manually resend specific events.

How long are webhook events stored?

Webhook delivery logs are available in the dashboard for 30 days. Store critical event data in your system for longer retention.

What's the maximum size of event metadata?

Metadata is limited to 4KB per object. Keep metadata concise and use IDs to reference larger data in your system.

Do webhooks include the full object data?

Yes, webhook events include the complete object (charge, refund, etc.) with all fields populated.

Can I test webhooks without ngrok?

Yes, you can use services like RequestBin, webhook.site, or create test endpoints on cloud platforms for testing.
