What are webhooks?
A webhook sends a message from your store to another system the moment something happens: a new order, a cancelled order, a new customer, and so on. Use it to connect CartWhizz to tools like your accounting software, a WhatsApp automation tool, a warehouse system, Zapier, Make or Pabbly, without anyone copying data by hand.
Find it at Settings → Webhooks once the module is on.
How it works
- You (or your developer) give CartWhizz a web address (Payload URL) from the other system.
- You choose which events to send.
- Whenever one of those events happens, CartWhizz sends the details to that address.
- Every message is signed with a secret, so the other system can check it really came from your store.
Most no-code tools (Zapier, Make, Pabbly Connect) give you a "webhook URL" you can paste straight in. For a custom system, hand the The request that arrives and Verifying the signature sections to your developer.
Good to know
- 14 events are available (see Event types).
- Failed sends are retried twice (after 30 seconds and 5 minutes) if the other system is down.
- A delivery log shows every send, the reply and how long it took.
- Switching the module off pauses every webhook; it doesn't delete them.
