Webhooks
Webhooks are an optional secure service provided by Judopay to use to notify your system when a transaction or event has taken place.
The benefit of using webhooks means you do not need to pull information from the Judopay API for every event.
You can use webhooks for:
Card payments:
Charge a card using a card’s full details:
16-digit card number
Expiry date
CV2
Pre-authorizations:
Reserve funds on a card.
Collections:
To collect the funds previously reserved with a pre-authorization.
Refunds:
Process a full or partial refund.
