Receive real-time payment information using webhooks
Use incoming webhooks to get real-time updates
Maya uses webhooks to notify your application when a specific event occurs with your payment request, such as when a customer decides not to authorize a payment, when a payment fails, or when a payment succeeds.
1 Identify the events
Identify which events you want to monitor.
Identify which events you want to monitor and which event payloads 
you need to parse.

| Webhook Event | Description |
|---|---|
PAYMENT_SUCCESS | Product/s: INVOICE CHECKOUTPAY WITH MAYAVAULTPLUGINS An event to describe the successful completion of a payment transaction. Merchants who are still subscribed to CHECKOUT_SUCCESS endpoint should start subscribing to the PAYMENT_SUCCESS webhook soon and discontinue their subscription to the CHECKOUT_SUCCESS webhook. Please test any changes made in the Sandbox environment before proceeding to the Production environment. |
PAYMENT_FAILED | Product/s: INVOICE CHECKOUTPAY WITH MAYAVAULTPLUGINS An event when the transaction is not successful due to a variety of reasons. Common reasons for payment failure include insufficient funds, closed accounts and suspected fraud. Merchants who are still subscribed to CHECKOUT_FAILURE endpoint should start subscribing to the PAYMENT_FAILED webhook soon and discontinue their subscription to the CHECKOUT_FAILURE webhook. Please test any changes made in Sandbox environment before proceeding to Production environment. |
PAYMENT_EXPIRED | Product/s: INVOICE CHECKOUTPAY WITH MAYAVAULTPLUGINS An event that occurs when a payment transaction is not completed within a certain period. This can happen when customer decided not to authorize the transaction or did not complete the authentication. Merchants who are still subscribed to CHECKOUT_DROPOUT endpoint should start subscribing to the PAYMENT_EXPIRED webhook soon and discontinue their subscription to the CHECKOUT_DROPOUT webhook.

2 Create a webhook endpoint
Set up and prepare your webhook.
Webhooks must be secured with SSL-secured (https) and publicly accessible. Set up a webhook URL that accepts JSON payloads via POST requests from Maya.
It is recommended that you configure SSL on port 443, otherwise your application may experience network issues when integrating with Maya.
3 Handle requests from Maya
You must handle webhook events correctly to ensure your integration's logic works as expected.
Maya sends events to your webhook endpoint as part of a POST request with a JSON payload .
Your endpoint must be configured to receive it for a given event and is expected to return a 2xx response status code.
Webhook notifications
Webhook notifications should come from this IP address list. It is recommended to whitelist the list in your network.
| Environment | IP Addresses |
|---|---|
| Sandbox | 13.229.160.234 3.1.199.75 |
| Production | 18.138.50.235 3.1.207.200 |
Check JSON payload
Each event is structured as an object with an id, paymentStatus and other payment details. Your endpoint must check the paymentStatus and parse the payload of each event.

Return a 2xx response
Before executing any complex logic that may cause a timeout or validation error, your endpoint should promptly respond with a successful status code (2xx).
Built-in retries
The webhooks of Payment Solutions come with automatic retry mechanisms for response status codes of 3xx, 4xx, or 5xx. The system will attempt a maximum of four (4) retries.
- Immediately after the status event is triggered
5 minutesafter the previous webhook call failed.15 minutesafter the previous webhook call failed45 minutesafter the previous webhook call failed
If Maya doesn’t quickly receive a 2xx response status code for an event, we mark the event as failed and stop trying to send it to your endpoint.
Handle duplicate events
We recommend that you process webhooks in an idempotent manner as your webhook endpoints might receive the same event from Maya more than once (e.g. you manually invoked webhook via Maya Manager, or from Maya's built-in retries). An effective approach is to log the events you have already processed and avoid processing events that have already been logged.
4 Test your webhook endpoint
Test to validate that your webhook endpoint is working properly.
You can execute your webhook endpoint via a simple curl command or through an API client application like Postman.
Sample Webhook Endpoint Test via curl
When the output of the curl command shows a 200 response code that means that your webhook endpoint is reachable and will return a status 200 OK.
HTTP/2 200
content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8
date: Mon, 14 Feb 2022 01:08:14 GMT

5 Register your webhook URLs to Maya
Deploy and register your webhook.
For plugin users: To ensure that your webhooks are properly registered when using plugins, register them through the plugin dashboard. It will automatically populate Maya Manager.
It is important to avoid editing the auto-generated webhook URLs in Maya Manager.
Maya needs to know where to send the events. To do so, you should provide the publicly accessible HTTPS URL for your webhook endpoint and indicate the type of events that you wish to receive.
You can register your webhook endpoints by accessing the Settings menu in Maya Business Manager, or by using the Create Webhook endpoint.
When you register webhooks using the Create Webhook endpoint, they will also be visible in Maya Business Manager under the Settings section.
