Charges Webhooks

On-chain transactions

  • status = underpaid - Transaction is seen but the charge is only partially paid. Waiting for the user to send the remainder.
  • status = refunded- Transaction was underpaid but the user canceled it, asking for a refund.
  • status = processing - Transaction is seen for the first time on the mempool.
  • status = paid - Transaction is confirmed on the Bitcoin blockchain.
  • status = expired - Checkout has expired (default : 24h)

Lighting Network transactions

  • status = paid - Transaction is settled.
  • status = expired - Checkout has expired (default : 24h)

When a charge is paid via an on-chain transaction, there are extra fields available, such as:

  • the bitcoin transactions, if any.
  • if the transaction was underpaid, the missing_amt, that specifies the missing amount, in satoshis.
  • if the transaction was overpaid, the overpaid_by field, that specifies the overpaid by amount in satoshis.

Validating webhooks

OpenNode signs all charge related events it sends to your endpoints with a hashed_order field on the event payload. This allows you to validate that the events were sent by OpenNode and not by a third party.

You can verify the signatures by computing an HMAC with the SHA256 hash function. Use the api-key used on the charge creation as the key, and the charge id as the message.

const crypto = require('crypto');

const received = charge.hashed_order;
const calculated = crypto.createHmac('sha256', MY_API_KEY).update(charge.id).digest('hex');

if (received === calculated) {
    //Signature is valid
}
else {
    //Signature is invalid. Ignore.
}
