Webhooks Overview

Webhooks allow you to track the status of payments and order lifecycle events in your application. They provide real-time notifications for various events like payment processing, NFT minting, and order fulfillment.

Webhook Systems by Checkout Version

Crossmint offers different webhook systems for Checkout V2 and V3:

Checkout V2 Webhooks (Legacy)

The Checkout V2 webhook system provides basic payment tracking with a single event type:

purchase.succeeded - Triggered when an NFT has been successfully purchased and delivered

Checkout V3 Webhooks (Current)

The Checkout V3 webhook system offers comprehensive order lifecycle tracking with multiple event types: Quote Phase

orders.quote.created - Triggered when a new order is created
orders.quote.updated - Triggered when order details are modified

Payment Phase

orders.payment.succeeded - Triggered when payment is successfully processed
orders.payment.failed - Triggered when payment fails

Delivery Phase

orders.delivery.initiated - Triggered when delivery begins
orders.delivery.completed - Triggered when delivery succeeds
orders.delivery.failed - Triggered when delivery fails

Setting Up Webhooks

1. Create an endpoint route

Using a standard nodejs API server, create an endpoint.

I don't have a webserver or want to test locally

You can test locally by installing ngrok and creating a routed endpoint to a specified port. > Note: Use ngrok only for testing. In production, ensure your endpoint is properly secured with HTTPS and appropriate access controls.

2. Configure the endpoint

Your endpoint should:

Handle POST requests only
Parse webhook events from the request body
Respond with a 200 status code to acknowledge receipt

Your server must return a 2xx HTTP status quickly so the webhook is marked as delivered.

Example handler:

// endpoint.js

export default function handler(req, res) {
    if (req.method === "POST") {
        console.log(`[webhook] Event received:`, req.body);
    }
    res.status(200).json({});
}

Don’t be strict with payload validations as Crossmint may add new fields to the webhooks as products evolve.

Your server must return a 2xx HTTP status quickly so the webhook is marked as delivered.

3. Example Webhook Responses

Every Checkout V3 webhook (orders.*) is delivered as { actionId, type, data }:

actionId — the order identifier
type — the event name (for example, orders.delivery.completed)
data — the complete order object, identical to the Get Order API response

The fields inside data.lineItems depend on the order execution mode. exact-out orders (for example, NFT purchases) carry callData (when present) and quantity. exact-in orders (for example, token or memecoin purchases) carry executionParams and maxSlippageBps.

        }
    }
}

4. Pass Custom Arguments (Optional)

Custom arguments (whPassThroughArgs) are only supported in Checkout V2 webhooks. This feature is not available in Checkout V3 webhooks (orders.*).

You can pass custom arguments through Checkout V2 webhooks to track additional information:

User IDs (If you want additional security, sign this ID with a custom key, or send it as a signed JWT, and verify its integrity later on your server)
Timestamps
Product SKUs
Custom metadata

Example of passing arguments:

function NFTSalePage() {
    const whArgs = {
        uid: 123424,
        sku: 123123123,
        metadata: { custom: "data" },
    };

    const whArgsSerialized = JSON.stringify(whArgs);

    return (
        <CrossmintPayButton
            projectId="_YOUR_PROJECT_ID_"
            collectionId="_YOUR_COLLECTION_ID_"
            whPassThroughArgs={whArgsSerialized}
        />
    );
}

Then, extract them on the server:

export default function handler(req, res) {
    const { whPassThroughArgs } = req.body;

    if (whPassThroughArgs) {
        const whArgsDeserialized = JSON.parse(whPassThroughArgs);
        console.log(whArgsDeserialized);
    }

    res.status(200).json({});
}

5. Pre & Post Processing

Add your pre and post processing logic when setting up your webhook listener. For example, you can call back to your database when a certain id has succeeded or even use Sendgrid or EmailJS to send an email to a recipient when a mint completes.

6. Configure in Crossmint Console

Navigate to the Webhooks page in the console
Click Add Endpoint
Enter your endpoint URL
Select the webhook events to receive
Click Create

6. Security

For security, verify webhook signatures using the signing secret from your endpoint details page:

See the Verify Webhooks guide for implementation details.

Testing Webhooks

Use test card number 4242 4242 4242 4242 for successful payments
Use 4000 0000 0000 4954 to test payment failures
