Desktop POS system and webhooks

Questions
1

Hi

We are looking to use Square terminals with a desktop POS system. There doesn’t appear to be any issue in pairing the terminal and initiating a checkout, but the latter requires a webhook. As a desktop system, there is no way that we can receive a webhook.

Question: Can the webhook be ignored, and is there a way we can interrogate the sqaure account to get the result of the checkout (e.g. final pay amount if tip added, card approved/declined)?

Thanks
