Events (1)

Receive status updates from Access Worldpay by setting up a webhook.

Contact your Implementation Manager to add your webhook URL and enable or disable the events based on your requirement.

The webhook destination (URL) must use an encrypted connection (https) and have a certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority. Every certificate within the chain, including the root, must be using a certificate signing algorithm of SHA-256 or better.

Support for certificate chains involving any certs with the SHA-1 certificate signing algorithm ends March 2026.
