Understanding Webhooks — Inkress’ Automatic Notifications

Last updated on Sep 27, 2025

Think of webhooks as Inkress’ way of saying, “Hey, something just happened!”

When a customer pays, cancels, or gets refunded, Inkress can send a real-time message to your system. That’s perfect for:

  • Updating your CRM or accounting tool

  • Sending confirmation emails

  • Triggering fulfillment workflows

Why they matter

Without webhooks, you’d have to constantly check your dashboard or call the API — like refreshing an inbox all day. With webhooks, Inkress sends updates to you instantly.

Typical webhook events

  • payment.succeeded — Payment completed

  • payment.failed — Card declined or canceled

  • refund.created — Refund issued

  • merchant.registered — New account approved

What this means for managers

Webhooks keep your business operations synchronized and hands-free. Once set up, your back-office, support team, and delivery staff all stay in the loop — automatically.

💡 Tip: If your team uses tools like Slack or Notion, you can even route webhook events to them — so everyone knows when payments roll in.
