Webhook
An automatic message one system sends to another immediately when something happens
What's it for?
Lets one system tell another immediately when something important has happened instead of waiting to be asked.
For example…
When a payment clears, the payment provider calls your app's webhook URL so fulfilment can start immediately
As soon as a customer payment succeeds, the payment company automatically sends the retailer a message so the order can be confirmed immediately
Think of it like…
A doorbell that alerts you when someone arrives, so you don’t have to keep checking the doorstep
