Settlement Webhooks
Configure settlement webhooks to receive automated notifications when settlements are initiated, successfully processed, failed, or reversed.
The webhook notifications are sent on all the URLs added and enabled in the settlement webhook. Merchants can add new URLs and enable or disable existing URLs for settlement webhook at any time and it will reflect instantaneously.

Settlement Webhook Version 1
A new version (x-webhook-version: 2022-09-01) of the settlement webhooks is available from 17/11/2022. The new version of the settlement webhooks will notify you about instant settlements in addition to the standard settlement webhooks as part of our new version. Now you will get separate webhooks for Instant Settlements and Standard Settlements.
The list of changes in the new version are:
- The payment_from and payment_till parameters will notify you about the time considered for the settlement period in addition to the date.
- The settlement_type parameter will notify you if the settlement type is a standard or instant settlement.
- New parameters settlement_charge, settlement_tax, and remarks will notify you about the instant settlement charges.
If you are using the older version of the webhook (x-webhook-version: 2021-09-21) we recommend you make the necessary changes and switch to the newer version to start receiving updates about Instant Settlements. We will discontinue support for the older version in a few days.
The table below lists the webhook events available for settlements Version 0 and Version 1.
