We are currently receiving webhook events from Fraud Management Essentials (for example, risk.profile.decision.monitor) during the pre-authorization flow.
Our requirement is to update transaction status in our database for every Payments API flow, including authorization, capture, and settlement.
Could anyone please confirm:
Which Payments product webhook events should be subscribed to in order to reliably track the full payment lifecycle?
Whether the following events are the correct ones to use:
payments.authorized
payments.capture.status.accepted
payments.capture.status.updated
payments.settlement.status.completed
payments.settlement.status.updated
If there are any alternative or additional events we should rely on instead of Fraud Management Essentials events for payment status updates.
This is my webhook details :
{
"status": "ACTIVE",
"products": [
{
"productId": "payments",
"eventTypes": [
"payments.authorized",
"payments.capture.status.accepted",
"payments.capture.status.updated",
"payments.settlement.status.completed",
"payments.settlement.status.updated"
]
},
{
"productId": "alternativePaymentMethods",
"eventTypes": [
"payments.payments.updated"
]
}
],

},

},

}
Your guidance will help ensure we are using the correct events as per CyberSource best practices.
Thank you for your assistance.
