Webhook Notifications — XPayLabs Event Callbacks Reference

XPayLabs sends HTTP POST callbacks to your configured endpoint URL whenever an order or collection changes state. Instead of polling the API for status changes, register your callback URL and receive signed notifications in real-time.

Configuration

Set your webhook endpoint URL and shared secret in the gateway configuration:

xpay:
  merchant:
    callback-url: "https://yourapp.com/webhooks/xpaylabs"
    webhook-secret: "your-webhook-secret-here"

The webhook-secret is used to compute the sign field in each webhook payload, allowing you to verify the notification originated from your gateway.

Payload Format

Every webhook callback is a POST request with a JSON body following the NotifyPayload structure:

Field	Type	Description
`sign`	string	HMAC-SHA256 signature for payload verification
`timestamp`	integer	Unix timestamp of when the notification was generated
`nonce`	string	Unique event identifier
`notifyType`	string	The event type (see Event Types)
`data`	object	The event payload (NotifyOrder object)

Example Payload

{
  "sign": "a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
  "timestamp": 1717000123,
  "nonce": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "notifyType": "ORDER_SUCCESS",
  "data": {
    "orderId": "order_1042",
    "uid": "user_42",
    "orderType": "COLLECTION",
    "status": "SUCCESS",
    "reason": null,
    "amount": "250.00",
    "actualAmount": "249.50",
    "fee": "0.00",
    "transaction": {
      "chain": "TRON",
      "symbol": "USDT",
      "txid": "a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
      "from": "TXyz...",
      "to": "TWkKZkmuB8DpVeiMoHiKf99ZoFHzk73CqR",
      "amount": "250.00",
      "blockNum": 12345678,
      "confirmedNum": 3,
      "status": "SUCCESS",
      "timestamp": 1717000123
    }
  }
}

Signature Verification

Verify the webhook signature using your webhook-secret:

Algorithm

Serialize the data object (the data field from the payload) as compact JSON.
Compute HMAC-SHA256(data_json, webhook_secret).
Convert to lowercase hex and compare with the sign field.

Node.js

import crypto from "crypto";

export function verifyWebhook(payload, secret) {
  const dataJson = JSON.stringify(payload.data);  // compact JSON
  const expectedSign = crypto
    .createHmac("sha256", secret)
    .update(dataJson, "utf8")
    .digest("hex");

  if (!crypto.timingSafeEqual(
    Buffer.from(expectedSign, "hex"),
    Buffer.from(payload.sign, "hex")
  )) {
    throw new Error("Invalid webhook signature");
  }

  return true;
}

// Express.js example
app.post("/webhooks/xpaylabs", express.json(), (req, res) => {
  try {
    verifyWebhook(req.body, process.env.XPAYLABS_WEBHOOK_SECRET);
  } catch (err) {
    return res.status(400).send("Verification failed");
  }

  const event = req.body;
  // Process event...
  res.status(200).send("ok");
});

Python

import hmac, hashlib, json
from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)
WEBHOOK_SECRET = "your-webhook-secret"

@app.route("/webhooks/xpaylabs", methods=["POST"])
def handle_webhook():
    payload = request.get_json()
    data_json = json.dumps(payload["data"], separators=(",", ":"))
    expected_sign = hmac.new(
        WEBHOOK_SECRET.encode(),
        data_json.encode(),
        hashlib.sha256,
    ).hexdigest()

    if not hmac.compare_digest(expected_sign, payload["sign"]):
        return "Invalid signature", 400

    notify_type = payload["notifyType"]
    # Process event...
    return "", 200

Retry Policy

If your endpoint does not return a 2xx status code within 10 seconds, XPayLabs retries the webhook with exponential backoff:

Attempt	Delay
1st retry	~1 second
2nd retry	~5 seconds
3rd retry	~30 seconds
4th retry	~5 minutes

After 4 failed attempts, the notification is marked as failed. Failed webhooks are logged and can be replayed from the gateway dashboard.

Best Practices

Respond immediately. Return 200 as fast as possible, then process the event asynchronously.
Verify every payload. Always check the HMAC signature before acting on a webhook.
Use nonce for deduplication. Store processed nonces to handle at-least-once delivery.
Check notifyType. Route events based on the notification type to handle each event correctly.
