Payload
The actual data carried inside a message or request
What's it for?
Carries the useful information inside a message sent between systems.
For example…
The webhook payload includes order ID, total and customer email when a sale completes
In an API request to create an order, the payload contains the customer ID, products and delivery address while headers carry supporting information.
Think of it like…
The letter inside an envelope — the envelope is packaging; the letter is the payload
