List of Payments Webhook Events

The table below lists the webhook events available for payments.

Webhook Event	Description
payment.authorized	Triggered when a payment is authorised.
payment.captured	Triggered when a payment is successfully captured.
payment.failed	Triggered when a payment fails.

Handy Tips

• The payload for a Webhook is a snapshot of the entity when the event occurred. For example, when a customer makes a payment, its status changes to authorized. It can then immediately move to the captured state.
• The payment can be in the captured state when the payment.authorized Webhook is fired. However, the payload for the payment.authorized event contains details of the events when the payment was authorised, not when it was captured.

Comparison: payment.captured vs order.paid

Orders and payments go hand-in-hand. Once a payment is captured, the order is marked paid. This is reflected in the order.paid and payment.captured webhook events as well. These events are triggered when the payment associated with the order is captured.

payment.captured Webhook Event	order.paid Webhook Event
This event is triggered when the payment is successfully captured.	This event is triggered when a customer completes the checkout process and the order’s status changes to paid.
This payload only contains the payment entity, providing details specific to the transaction, such as the amount, currency, and payment method.	This payload includes both order and payment entities, making all relevant information available in a single payload.

Watch Out!

The webhook sequence is not fixed in the JSON payload for payment events.

Payments Downtime

Downtime is a period during which one or more payment options underperform, leading to considerable delays in payment processing. These downtimes are due to technical issues or outages at Razorpay’s partner or issuing banks side. Razorpay informs you about the downtime to communicate it to your customers.

List of Payments Downtime Webhook Events

The table below lists the webhook events available for payments downtime.

Webhook Event	Description
payment.downtime.started	Triggered at the beginning of the downtime.

Watch Out!

• If you have changed your webhook secret, remember to use the old secret for webhook signature validation while retrying older requests. Using the new secret will lead to a signature mismatch.

• While generating a signature at your end, ensure that the webhook body is passed as an argument in the raw webhook request body. Do not parse or cast the webhook request body.
