I am completely new to the concept of webhooks, and I have read up on the subject. But some assistance would still be appreciated. Currently, my eCommerce app has a shopping cart that sends customers to the Square Checkout page when they want to pay via online-checkout/payment-links. What I need i…

With our webhooks you’ll want to listen to the payments.updated events to pull the customer_id from the payment. Once you have the customer_id you can call RetrieveCustomer to get the name of the customer to send the email confirmation. :slight_smile:

Great! I will give this a shot. Another question related to this. Right now while I am in development mode, I can successfully send access Square’s online customer checkout page.

We’re constantly working to improve our features based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your request…

Well, is there any way for me to pretend I do receive customer_id so that I can build and test out the steps that are supposed to execute afterwards?

If you call CreatePayment with directly with the following it will trigger a webhook event with the customer_id: { "idempotency_key": "{{$guid}}", "autocomplete": true, "amount_money": { "amount": 100, "currency": "USD" }, "source_id": "cnon:card-nonce-ok", "…
