View Notifications using Webhooks
Subscribe to various webhook events related to Subscription Button to receive instant notifications.
You can also enable webhooks to receive notifications about the payment as they move through the different states. All information entered by the customer while making the payment will appear in the webhook payload.
Webhooks (Web Callback, HTTP Push API or Reverse API) are one way that a web application can send information to another application in real-time when a specific event happens.
Suppose you have subscribed to the order.paid webhook event, you will receive a notification every time a user pays you for an order.
APIs send you the data when you request it. For Webhooks, you do not need to make a request. You receive the data when it is available.
Example
If you need to know whether a Payment Link is paid or not, using APIs, you need to keep polling every few seconds until someone pays. However, if you are using Webhooks, you can configure a webhook event payment_link.paid to receive notifications when a customer makes the payment using the link.
