Callbacks Overview

Callbacks are optional, server-side, HTTPS webhook notifications sent by PayNearMe to inform clients of specific events that can occur during a transaction's lifecycle. Callbacks work with any integration method and provide notifications about transaction events and give you the ability to control payment remittance to support regulatory and business processes. Use callbacks with any payment type to securely communicate transaction events and efficiently process payments. PayNearMe offers the following callback services.

Callback Name	Description
Payment Authorization	Provides you the opportunity to accept or decline payments in real-time, so that unwanted transactions (e.g., payments outside of regulatory or risk limits) are not mistakenly processed.
Payment Confirmation	Provides authoritative, system-level notifications of confirmed payments (for payment posting). In the event of timeouts or outages, this callback gives you the ability to re-send, suspend, and queue all Payment Confirmation calls. When connectivity is restored, PayNearMe resends all unacknowledged calls. This callback is required if you choose to receive Payment Authorization callbacks.
Payment Reverses	Alerts you to payments that have been cancelled, refunded, disputed (card chargebacks), or returned (ACH returns).
Order Change	Alerts you to user-initiated changes submitted from the Embedded Client or the Consumer Portal. These changes include phone and email updates, payment amount and time updates, autopay and one-time schedule status changes, and tokenization status updates.
Order Validation	Provides clients with the ability to create and/or update orders and to quickly validate a consumer’s account before deciding whether to accept or decline the payment.
Disbursement Authorization	Provides clients with the opportunity to accept or decline disbursement requests in real-time, so that unwanted transactions (e.g., disbursements that have not been approved or authorized) are not mistakenly processed.
Disbursement Confirmation	Provides authoritative, system-level notifications of confirmed disbursements. In the event of timeouts or outages, this callback gives you the ability to re-send, suspend, and queue all Disbursement Confirmation calls. When connectivity is restored, PayNearMe resends all unacknowledged calls.
