Events Overview

Webhooks are triggered by specific events that occur within the SumUp system. These events can be related to various actions, such as a checkout being processed, a refund being issued, or a subscription being created. When an event occurs, the webhook sends a notification to the specified endpoint, allowing the integrator application to take appropriate action.

Event Structure

Each event sent to the webhook endpoint has the following structure:

• id: A unique identifier for the event.
• event_type: The type of event that occurred.
• payload: The data associated with the event.
• timestamp: The timestamp when the event occurred.

Example of an event received by the webhook endpoint:

{
  "id": "c56dc7d23e1dad876cb1e2954854db9e",
  "event_type": "checkout.status.updated",
