How do I check the status of a payment?

The recommended and most efficient way to receive payment status updates is by configuring the webhook. A webhook is an automated system that sends real-time updates to your platform whenever a payment’s state changes — for example, when it’s confirmed or expired.

You can set your callback_url when creating an invoice, and OxaPay will automatically deliver the payment status updates to that URL.

Webhook Quick Guide:

• Create an HTTPS endpoint on your server to handle POST requests.

• Set the callback_url in your API request to that endpoint.

• Validate the HMAC in the header using your API_KEY.

• Return 200 OK with "ok" in the response body.
