Webhooks

Webhooks are used by Nomad Pay to send real-time notifications to your server about events, such as a successful payment.

Overview

This is an outbound request from Nomad Pay to your server. When an event occurs (like payment.succeeded), Nomad Pay will send a POST request to the Webhook URL you configured in your merchant dashboard.

Method: POST
Content-Type: application/json
Signature Algorithm: Ed25519

Verifying Webhooks

To ensure the request is truly from Nomad Pay and has not been tampered with, you must verify the signature. This signature is different from the one you send. We use our own Ed25519 Private Key to sign the callback. You must use our Ed25519 Public Key to verify it.

Nomad Pay Public Key:
- You can find this key in your merchant dashboard’s Developer section.
- Example: your_nomad_pay_public_key_hex_string
Signature Header:
- The signature will be in the x-signature header.

Callback Body

The body contains the details of the event.

Field	Type	Description
`order_id`	`string`	The Nomad Pay Payment ID (e.g., `pay_123456789`).
`secret_id`	`string`	Your original order ID from your system.
`blockchain`	`string`	The name of the blockchain (e.g., `Ethereum`).
`transaction`	`string`	The on-chain transaction hash (Tx Hash).
`sender`	`string`	The customer’s wallet address.
`receiver`	`string`	The merchant’s receiving address.
`token`	`string`	The token used for payment (e.g., `USDT`).
`order_amount`	`string`	The original amount specified in the order (e.g., `100.50`).
`amount`	`string`	The actual on-chain amount received (e.g., `100.50`).
`payload`	`object`	The `meta_data` object you sent in the original request.
`status`	`string`	The status of the transaction (e.g., `success`, `failed`).
`confirmations`	`int`	The number of block confirmations.
`created_at`	`string`	ISO8601 timestamp of creation.
`confirmed_at`	`string`	ISO8601 timestamp of confirmation.

Example Callback Body:

{
  "order_id": "pay_123456789",
  "secret_id": "your-order-id-123",
  "blockchain": "Ethereum",
  "transaction": "0xabc123...",
  "sender": "0xuser...",
  "receiver": "0xmerchant...",
  "token": "USDT",
  "order_amount": "100.50",
  "amount": "100.50",
  "payload": {
    "order_id": "20231101123456",
    "description": "VIP Subscription"
  },
  "after_block": 12345678,
  "commitment": "",
  "confirmations": 12,
  "created_at": "2024-06-01T12:34:56Z",
  "confirmed_at": "2024-06-01T12:35:10Z",
  "status": "success"
}

Verifying the Signature

You must verify the x-signature against the raw JSON callback body using the Nomad Pay Public Key. Example (Go):

import (
	"crypto/ed25519"
	"encoding/hex"
)

// Verify checks an Ed25519 signature.
// publicKeyHex is the Nomad Pay Public Key from your dashboard.
// message is the raw JSON body of the callback.
// signatureHex is the string from the x-signature header.
func Verify(publicKeyHex string, message []byte, signatureHex string) (bool, error) {
	publicKeyBytes, err := hex.DecodeString(publicKeyHex)
	if err != nil {
		return false, err
	}
	publicKey := ed25519.PublicKey(publicKeyBytes)

	signatureBytes, err := hex.DecodeString(signatureHex)
	if err != nil {
		return false, err
	}

	return ed25519.Verify(publicKey, message, signatureBytes), nil
}

// In your webhook handler:
// 1. Get the raw request body (message)
// 2. Get the x-signature header (signatureHex)
// 3. Get your Nomad Pay Public Key (publicKeyHex)
// 4. isValid, _ := Verify(publicKeyHex, message, signatureHex)
// 5. IF isValid is true, process the order.
// 6. Respond with HTTP 200 and the string "success".

	Address  string                 `json:"address"`
	Note     string                 `json:"note"`
	MetaData map[string]interface{} `json:"meta_data"`
}

// PayRequest defines the structure of the webhook request body
type PayRequest struct {

	AfterBlock  int     `json:"after_block" binding:"omitempty"`
	Status      string  `json:"status,omitempty"`
	Payload     Payload `json:"payload,omitempty" binding:"omitempty"`
}

// PayResponse defines the structure of your response
type PayResponse struct {
	Success    bool        `json:"success"`
	Message    string      `json:"message"`
	Data       PayRequest  `json:"data"`

Important Notes

Verify Signatures: Always verify the signature. This is critical for security.
Respond Quickly: Your endpoint must respond with an HTTP 200 status and the raw string “success” within 5 seconds, or we will consider the callback failed and retry.
Idempotency: Because we retry failed webhooks, your system must be able to handle receiving the same event multiple times. Use the order_id or secret_id to de-duplicate.
