# Webhooks
# Overview
The purpose of webhooks are to provide more realtime updates versus performing query requests. Currently webhooks can be triggered as transactions are processed within the gateway platform.
# How to enable
Webhooks can be enabled within the merchant control panel under "Manage" -> "Settings" -> "Webhooks".
# Security
Webhook post requests are sent with a header "Signature" that is HMAC SHA 256 signed and then base64 url encoded.
To verify webhook post signatures, retrieve "Signature" from header. Base64 url decode and use HMAC SHA 256 to check using your signature UUID located in the control panel under the webhook previously created.
# Acknowledge and Retry
Webhook notifications are processed within a few seconds of a transaction being processed as long as the response code is within the Approved or Declined range. Webhooks have a 5 second timeout and should be acknowledged with a HTTP 200 response. If a webhook is not acknowledged it will be rescheduled using a 5 minute exponential backoff and will be retried for 24 hours.
