Setting Up Webhooks

Learn how to configure webhook endpoints in the Omise dashboard and set up your server to receive real-time payment event notifications.

Overview

Webhooks allow Omise to push real-time notifications to your server when events occur in your account. This guide covers:

Creating and configuring webhook endpoints in the dashboard
Setting up secure HTTPS endpoints
Testing webhooks locally with ngrok
Managing multiple endpoints
Verifying your webhook configuration

Dashboard Configuration

Creating a Webhook Endpoint

Follow these steps to create a webhook endpoint in the Omise dashboard:

Navigate to Webhooks Settings
- Log in to your Omise Dashboard
- Go to Settings > Webhooks
- Click the Create Webhook button
Configure Endpoint URL
- Enter your HTTPS endpoint URL (e.g., https://api.example.com/webhooks/omise)
- Ensure the URL is accessible from the internet
- The endpoint must accept POST requests
Select Events to Subscribe
- Choose All Events to receive all webhook notifications
- Or select specific events (charge.create, charge.complete, refund.create, etc.)
- You can modify event subscriptions later
Save and Retrieve Webhook Key
- Click Create to generate the webhook endpoint
- Copy and securely store the Webhook Signing Key
- This key is used to verify webhook signatures (shown only once)

Dashboard Interface Elements

The webhook configuration page displays:

Endpoint URL: The destination for webhook events
Status: Active/Inactive toggle
Events: List of subscribed event types
Recent Deliveries: Log of recent webhook attempts with response codes
Signing Key: Used for HMAC-SHA256 signature verification

Managing Multiple Endpoints

You can configure multiple webhook endpoints for different purposes:

Production Endpoint:
URL: https://api.example.com/webhooks/omise
Events: All events
Status: Active

Backup Endpoint:
URL: https://backup.example.com/webhooks/omise
Events: Critical events only (charge.complete, refund.create)
Status: Active

Analytics Endpoint:
URL: https://analytics.example.com/webhooks/omise
Events: All events
Status: Active

Best practices for multiple endpoints:

Use separate endpoints for production, staging, and development
Create dedicated endpoints for different services (accounting, analytics, notifications)
Monitor delivery success rates for each endpoint
Deactivate unused endpoints to reduce noise

Endpoint Requirements

HTTPS and SSL/TLS

All webhook endpoints must meet these security requirements:

Required:

HTTPS protocol (HTTP is not supported)
Valid SSL/TLS certificate from a trusted CA
TLS 1.2 or higher
Strong cipher suites

Recommended:

Certificate from Let's Encrypt, DigiCert, or other trusted CA
Automatic certificate renewal
HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) headers

# Example Nginx SSL configuration
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name api.example.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/api.example.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/api.example.com/privkey.pem;
    ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
    ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

    location /webhooks/omise {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

Response Requirements

Your endpoint must respond correctly to webhook deliveries:

Success Response:

HTTP status code: 200-299 (200 OK recommended)
Respond within 10 seconds
Return immediately without waiting for processing

Failure Response:

HTTP status code: 400-599 triggers automatic retry
Status codes outside 200-299 are considered failures

// Node.js/Express example
app.post('/webhooks/omise', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    // Verify signature first
    const isValid = verifySignature(req);
    if (!isValid) {
      return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid signature' });
    }

    // Respond immediately (don't wait for processing)
    res.status(200).json({ received: true });

    // Process webhook asynchronously
    processWebhookAsync(req.body);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Webhook error:', error);
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
  }
});

# Python/Flask example
@app.route('/webhooks/omise', methods=['POST'])
def handle_webhook():
    try:
        # Verify signature first
        if not verify_signature(request):
            return jsonify({'error': 'Invalid signature'}), 401

        # Respond immediately
        response = jsonify({'received': True})
        
        # Process webhook asynchronously
        process_webhook_async(request.json)
        
        return response, 200
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(f'Webhook error: {e}')
        return jsonify({'error': 'Internal server error'}), 500

# Ruby/Sinatra example
post '/webhooks/omise' do
  begin
    # Verify signature first
    unless verify_signature(request)
      halt 401, { error: 'Invalid signature' }.to_json
    end

    # Respond immediately
    status 200
    body({ received: true }.to_json)

    # Process webhook asynchronously
    Thread.new do
      process_webhook_async(JSON.parse(request.body.read))
    end
  rescue => e
    logger.error("Webhook error: #{e.message}")
    halt 500, { error: 'Internal server error' }.to_json
  end
end

// PHP example
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/json');

try {
    // Get request body
    $payload = file_get_contents('php://input');
    $event = json_decode($payload, true);

    // Verify signature first
    if (!verifySignature($payload, $_SERVER['HTTP_X_OMISE_SIGNATURE'])) {
        http_response_code(401);
        echo json_encode(['error' => 'Invalid signature']);
        exit;
    }

    // Respond immediately
    http_response_code(200);
    echo json_encode(['received' => true]);

    // Flush output to send response
    fastcgi_finish_request();

    // Process webhook after response is sent
    processWebhook($event);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    error_log('Webhook error: ' . $e->getMessage());
    http_response_code(500);
    echo json_encode(['error' => 'Internal server error']);
}
?>

// Go example
func handleWebhook(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Read body
    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
    if err != nil {
        http.Error(w, "Error reading request body", http.StatusBadRequest)
        return
    }
    defer r.Body.Close()

    // Verify signature first
    signature := r.Header.Get("X-Omise-Signature")
    if !verifySignature(body, signature) {
        http.Error(w, "Invalid signature", http.StatusUnauthorized)
        return
    }

    // Respond immediately
    w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
    w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]bool{"received": true})

    // Process webhook asynchronously
    go processWebhookAsync(body)
}

Local Testing with ngrok

ngrok creates a secure tunnel to your local development server, allowing you to test webhooks without deploying to production.

Installing ngrok

macOS (Homebrew):

brew install ngrok/ngrok/ngrok

Linux:

curl -s https://ngrok-agent.s3.amazonaws.com/ngrok.asc | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ngrok.asc >/dev/null && \
  echo "deb https://ngrok-agent.s3.amazonaws.com buster main" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ngrok.list && \
  sudo apt update && sudo apt install ngrok

Windows:

choco install ngrok

Setting Up ngrok

Sign up for ngrok account (free tier available)
- Visit ngrok.com
- Create an account and get your authtoken
Configure ngrok with your authtoken:

ngrok config add-authtoken YOUR_AUTHTOKEN

Start your local server:

# Node.js
npm start
# or
node server.js

# Python
python app.py

# Ruby
ruby app.rb

# PHP
php -S localhost:3000

# Go
go run main.go

Create ngrok tunnel:

# Create tunnel to local port 3000
ngrok http 3000

# With custom subdomain (paid plan)
ngrok http 3000 --subdomain=myapp-webhooks

Copy the HTTPS forwarding URL:

ngrok by @inconshreveable

Session Status                online
Account                       your-account (Plan: Free)
Version                       3.0.0
Region                        United States (us)
Forwarding                    https://abc123.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:3000

Web Interface                 http://127.0.0.1:4040

Configure webhook in Omise dashboard:
- Use the HTTPS URL: https://abc123.ngrok.io/webhooks/omise
- Select events to test
- Save the configuration

ngrok Web Interface

Access the ngrok web interface at http://127.0.0.1:4040 to:

Inspect all HTTP requests and responses
Replay webhook requests for debugging
View request headers and body
Check response times and status codes

# Example: View webhook request details
curl http://127.0.0.1:4040/api/requests

Testing Workflow

Start your local development server
Start ngrok tunnel
Configure webhook endpoint in Omise dashboard
Trigger test events (create charge, refund, etc.)
View webhook deliveries in ngrok interface
Debug and iterate on your webhook handler

// Example local development setup
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/webhooks/omise', (req, res) => {
  console.log('Webhook received:', JSON.stringify(req.body, null, 2));
  console.log('Headers:', req.headers);
  
  // Verify signature
  const signature = req.headers['x-omise-signature'];
  console.log('Signature:', signature);
  
  res.status(200).json({ received: true });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000');
  console.log('Start ngrok: ngrok http 3000');
});

ngrok Best Practices

Use HTTPS URLs only for webhook endpoints
Restart ngrok when needed (free tier URLs change on restart)
Use custom subdomains (paid plans) for consistent testing
Monitor the web interface to debug webhook issues
Don't commit ngrok URLs to version control
Use environment variables for webhook URLs

// Environment-based webhook URL configuration
const webhookUrl = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
  ? 'https://api.example.com/webhooks/omise'
  : process.env.NGROK_URL + '/webhooks/omise';

console.log('Webhook URL:', webhookUrl);

Testing Webhooks

Manual Testing in Dashboard

The Omise dashboard provides tools for testing webhook deliveries:

Navigate to Webhooks section
Select your endpoint
Click "Send Test Webhook"
Choose event type (charge.complete, refund.create, etc.)
Review delivery status and response

Triggering Test Events

Create real events in test mode to trigger webhooks:

# Create a test charge (triggers charge.create webhook)
curl https://api.omise.co/charges \
  -u skey_test_YOUR_SECRET_KEY: \
  -d "amount=100000" \
  -d "currency=THB" \
  -d "card=tokn_test_5xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# Complete a charge (triggers charge.complete webhook)
# For test mode, charges auto-complete if using test cards

# Create a refund (triggers refund.create webhook)
curl https://api.omise.co/charges/chrg_test_5xxxxxxxxxxxxx/refunds \
  -u skey_test_YOUR_SECRET_KEY: \
  -d "amount=50000"

Automated Testing

Implement automated tests for your webhook handler:

// Node.js/Jest example
const request = require('supertest');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const app = require('./app');

describe('Webhook Handler', () => {
  const webhookKey = 'test_webhook_key';
  
  function generateSignature(payload) {
    return crypto
      .createHmac('sha256', webhookKey)
      .update(payload)
      .digest('hex');
  }

  test('accepts valid webhook with correct signature', async () => {
    const payload = JSON.stringify({ key: 'charge.complete' });
    const signature = generateSignature(payload);

    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/webhooks/omise')
      .set('X-Omise-Signature', signature)
      .send(payload)
      .expect(200);

    expect(response.body).toEqual({ received: true });
  });

  test('rejects webhook with invalid signature', async () => {
    const payload = JSON.stringify({ key: 'charge.complete' });
    const invalidSignature = 'invalid_signature';

    await request(app)
      .post('/webhooks/omise')
      .set('X-Omise-Signature', invalidSignature)
      .send(payload)
      .expect(401);
  });

  test('handles charge.complete event', async () => {
    const event = {
      key: 'charge.complete',
      data: {
        object: 'charge',
        id: 'chrg_test_123',
        amount: 100000,
        status: 'successful'
      }
    };
    
    const payload = JSON.stringify(event);
    const signature = generateSignature(payload);

    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/webhooks/omise')
      .set('X-Omise-Signature', signature)
      .send(payload)
      .expect(200);

    // Verify event was processed
    // Add assertions based on your application logic
  });
});

# Python/pytest example
import pytest
import hmac
import hashlib
import json
from app import app

@pytest.fixture
def client():
    app.config['TESTING'] = True
    with app.test_client() as client:
        yield client

def generate_signature(payload, key='test_webhook_key'):
    return hmac.new(
        key.encode('utf-8'),
        payload.encode('utf-8'),
        hashlib.sha256
    ).hexdigest()

def test_valid_webhook(client):
    payload = json.dumps({'key': 'charge.complete'})
    signature = generate_signature(payload)
    
    response = client.post(
        '/webhooks/omise',
        data=payload,
        headers={'X-Omise-Signature': signature},
        content_type='application/json'
    )
    
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.json['received'] == True

def test_invalid_signature(client):
    payload = json.dumps({'key': 'charge.complete'})
    
    response = client.post(
        '/webhooks/omise',
        data=payload,
        headers={'X-Omise-Signature': 'invalid'},
        content_type='application/json'
    )
    
    assert response.status_code == 401

Real-World Scenarios

E-commerce Platform Setup

Setting up webhooks for an e-commerce platform:

// E-commerce webhook handler
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

// Multiple webhook handlers for different purposes
app.post('/webhooks/omise/payments', handlePaymentWebhooks);
app.post('/webhooks/omise/refunds', handleRefundWebhooks);
app.post('/webhooks/omise/disputes', handleDisputeWebhooks);

async function handlePaymentWebhooks(req, res) {
  const event = req.body;
  
  // Respond immediately
  res.status(200).json({ received: true });
  
  // Process based on event type
  switch (event.key) {
    case 'charge.complete':
      await fulfillOrder(event.data);
      await sendConfirmationEmail(event.data);
      break;
    case 'charge.failed':
      await notifyCustomerOfFailure(event.data);
      break;
  }
}

Subscription Service Setup

Handling recurring payments and subscription events:

# Subscription webhook handler
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/webhooks/omise', methods=['POST'])
def handle_webhook():
    event = request.json
    
    # Respond immediately
    response = jsonify({'received': True})
    
    # Route to appropriate handler
    if event['key'] == 'charge.complete':
        extend_subscription(event['data'])
    elif event['key'] == 'charge.failed':
        retry_payment(event['data'])
    elif event['key'] == 'refund.create':
        cancel_subscription(event['data'])
    
    return response, 200

def extend_subscription(charge_data):
    """Extend subscription when recurring charge succeeds"""
    customer_id = charge_data['customer']
    # Update subscription end date
    # Send renewal confirmation email

def retry_payment(charge_data):
    """Handle failed recurring payment"""
    customer_id = charge_data['customer']
    # Notify customer of payment failure
    # Schedule retry attempt
    # If multiple failures, suspend subscription

Multi-tenant SaaS Platform

Managing webhooks for multiple tenants:

# Multi-tenant webhook handler
class WebhooksController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token

  def omise
    # Verify signature
    unless verify_signature(request)
      render json: { error: 'Invalid signature' }, status: :unauthorized
      return
    end

    # Respond immediately
    render json: { received: true }, status: :ok

    # Identify tenant from metadata
    event = JSON.parse(request.body.read)
    tenant_id = event.dig('data', 'metadata', 'tenant_id')
    
    # Process in background job with tenant context
    WebhookProcessorJob.perform_later(event, tenant_id)
  end
end

# Background job
class WebhookProcessorJob < ApplicationJob
  queue_as :webhooks

  def perform(event, tenant_id)
    Tenant.find(tenant_id).scope do
      case event['key']
      when 'charge.complete'
        ChargeCompleteHandler.new(event['data']).process
      when 'refund.create'
        RefundCreateHandler.new(event['data']).process
      end
    end
  end
end

Best Practices

Security

Always verify webhook signatures before processing events
Use HTTPS with valid SSL certificates for all endpoints
Store webhook signing keys securely (environment variables, secrets manager)
Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
Log all webhook deliveries for audit trail

Reliability

Respond quickly (within 10 seconds) to avoid timeouts
Process asynchronously using background jobs or queues
Implement idempotency to handle duplicate deliveries
Monitor webhook health with alerting for failures
Test regularly in development and staging environments

Performance

Use message queues (Redis, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS) for processing
Scale horizontally with load balancers for high volume
Batch database operations when processing multiple events
Cache frequently accessed data to reduce database load
Set up monitoring and metrics for response times

// Example: Using Redis queue for async processing
const express = require('express');
const Queue = require('bull');
const app = express();

// Create webhook processing queue
const webhookQueue = new Queue('webhooks', {
  redis: { host: 'localhost', port: 6379 }
});

// Webhook endpoint
app.post('/webhooks/omise', async (req, res) => {
  // Verify signature
  if (!verifySignature(req)) {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid signature' });
  }

  // Add to queue and respond immediately
  await webhookQueue.add(req.body, {
    attempts: 3,
    backoff: { type: 'exponential', delay: 2000 }
  });

  res.status(200).json({ received: true });
});

// Process webhooks from queue
webhookQueue.process(async (job) => {
  const event = job.data;
  console.log(`Processing webhook: ${event.key}`);
  
  // Your webhook processing logic
  await processWebhook(event);
});

Maintenance

Version your webhook handlers to support API changes
Document your webhook processing logic for team reference
Set up alerting for webhook failures or anomalies
Regular security audits of webhook endpoints
Keep dependencies updated for security patches

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue: Webhook endpoint not receiving events

Solutions:

Verify endpoint is accessible via HTTPS from internet
Check firewall rules and security groups
Confirm endpoint is active in Omise dashboard
Review server logs for incoming requests
Test endpoint with curl or Postman

# Test endpoint accessibility
curl -X POST https://your-domain.com/webhooks/omise \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"test": "data"}'

Issue: SSL certificate errors

Solutions:

Verify SSL certificate is valid and not expired
Check certificate chain is complete
Ensure certificate matches domain name
Use SSL testing tools to diagnose issues

# Check SSL certificate
openssl s_client -connect your-domain.com:443 -servername your-domain.com

# Test SSL with curl
curl -v https://your-domain.com/webhooks/omise

Issue: Webhook signature verification failing

Solutions:

Verify you're using the correct webhook signing key
Ensure raw request body is used for signature verification
Check for character encoding issues
Verify HMAC-SHA256 algorithm is implemented correctly
See the Security guide for detailed examples

Issue: Webhook timeouts

Solutions:

Respond to webhook within 10 seconds
Move processing to background jobs/queues
Optimize database queries
Add timeout monitoring and alerting

// Add timeout protection
app.post('/webhooks/omise', (req, res) => {
  // Set response timeout
  req.setTimeout(8000, () => {
    console.error('Webhook processing timeout');
    res.status(200).json({ received: true });
  });

  // Quick response
  res.status(200).json({ received: true });
  
  // Async processing
  processWebhookAsync(req.body);
});

Issue: Duplicate webhook events

Solutions:

Implement idempotency using event IDs
Use database constraints to prevent duplicate processing
Track processed event IDs in cache or database
See the Retry Logic guide for idempotency patterns

Issue: ngrok tunnel disconnecting

Solutions:

Upgrade to ngrok paid plan for persistent URLs
Use ngrok agent auto-restart features
Set up process manager (PM2, systemd) for stability
Consider alternatives like localtunnel or serveo

# Run ngrok with auto-restart (using PM2)
pm2 start ngrok -- http 3000
pm2 save

Debugging Checklist

When troubleshooting webhook issues:

Monitoring and Logging

Implement comprehensive logging for webhook debugging:

const winston = require('winston');

const logger = winston.createLogger({
  level: 'info',
  format: winston.format.json(),
  transports: [
    new winston.transports.File({ filename: 'webhooks-error.log', level: 'error' }),
    new winston.transports.File({ filename: 'webhooks-combined.log' })
  ]
});

app.post('/webhooks/omise', (req, res) => {
  const startTime = Date.now();
  
  logger.info('Webhook received', {
    event_id: req.body.id,
    event_key: req.body.key,
    signature: req.headers['x-omise-signature']
  });

  try {
    // Verify signature
    if (!verifySignature(req)) {
      logger.error('Invalid signature', {
        event_id: req.body.id,
        signature: req.headers['x-omise-signature']
      });
      return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid signature' });
    }

    res.status(200).json({ received: true });

    // Process webhook
    processWebhookAsync(req.body)
      .then(() => {
        logger.info('Webhook processed successfully', {
          event_id: req.body.id,
          duration: Date.now() - startTime
        });
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        logger.error('Webhook processing failed', {
          event_id: req.body.id,
          error: error.message,
          stack: error.stack
        });
      });
  } catch (error) {
    logger.error('Webhook error', {
      event_id: req.body.id,
      error: error.message,
      stack: error.stack
    });
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
  }
});

FAQ

How many webhook endpoints can I configure?

You can configure multiple webhook endpoints per account. Each endpoint can subscribe to different events, allowing you to route webhooks to different services or environments.

Can I use HTTP instead of HTTPS for testing?

No, all webhook endpoints must use HTTPS with valid SSL certificates. For local testing, use ngrok or similar tunneling services to create HTTPS endpoints.

What happens if my endpoint is down?

Omise automatically retries failed webhook deliveries using exponential backoff. Webhooks are retried for up to 7 days. See the Retry Logic guide for details.

How do I handle webhook events that arrive out of order?

Always check the created_at timestamp in the webhook payload. Store event IDs and timestamps in your database to detect and handle out-of-order events. Process events based on timestamp rather than arrival order.

Can I replay missed webhooks?

Yes, you can manually trigger webhook redelivery from the Omise dashboard. Navigate to the webhook endpoint, view Recent Deliveries, and click "Resend" for specific events.

How do I update my webhook endpoint URL?

Edit the webhook endpoint in the Omise dashboard. Update the URL and save changes. The webhook signing key remains the same unless you regenerate it.

Should I create different endpoints for test and live modes?

Yes, it's recommended to use separate webhook endpoints for test and live modes. This prevents test events from affecting your production systems and simplifies debugging.

What's the maximum payload size for webhooks?

Webhook payloads are typically under 100KB. The exact size depends on the event type and amount of data. Ensure your endpoint can handle payloads up to 1MB to accommodate future changes.

How quickly must I respond to webhooks?

Respond within 10 seconds to avoid timeouts. Return a 2xx status code immediately and process the webhook asynchronously.

Can I filter which events are sent to my endpoint?

Yes, when configuring your webhook endpoint, you can select specific event types or choose "All Events". You can modify event subscriptions at any time in the dashboard.
