Notification Service

For every purchase create API call, you can send the purchaseCallbackUrl parameter. Your URL should point to a service that can accept urlencoded JSON payloads from us. We will use this URL to push a list of transaction events to you that will inform you of all purchase status changes. For example you will be notified if a purchase has been paid.


Example Payload

transactionEvents=[
