Paystack

Capture Paystack webhook events with Hookdrop

Setup

1. Open API Keys & Webhooks

   Go to the Paystack Dashboard and navigate to Settings → API Keys & Webhooks.

2. Set your webhook URL

   Enter your Hookdrop capture URL in the Webhook URL field:

   https://hookdrop.dev/in/{your-token}
   
3. Save

   Click Save changes. Paystack will begin sending events to Hookdrop for your account.

Paystack restricts webhook delivery to a set of known IP addresses. Hookdrop’s ingestion server is already allowlisted, so you don’t need to configure anything extra on your end.

Common events

Event	When it fires
charge.success	Payment completed successfully
transfer.success	Transfer completed
subscription.create	New subscription started
invoice.create	New invoice generated

Retry history

Paystack automatically retries failed webhook deliveries. Hookdrop captures every attempt as a separate event, so you can see the full retry history — including the original delivery and each subsequent attempt — in the dashboard.
