UCP Webhooks for Real-Time Order Updates: Technical Guide
Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) webhooks transmit real-time order status events through REST API endpoints and asynchronous message brokers, enabling bidirectional integration between Order Management Systems (OMS), Fulfillment Management Systems (FMS), and Payment Service Providers (PSPs) while maintaining PCI DSS Level 1 compliance through HMAC-SHA256 cryptographic signatures. Standard UCP webhook implementations enforce event idempotency via unique…

UCP Webhooks for Real-Time Order Updates: Complete Guide
Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) webhooks transmit standardized order events—order.created, order.paid, order.shipped, and order.cancelled—via HMAC-SHA256-secured HTTP POST callbacks to Stripe, Square, and PayPal Commerce Platform integrations, enabling real-time order synchronization between payment processors and merchant order management systems. Webhook endpoints must implement RFC 7231 idempotency keys, exponential backoff retry mechanisms, and maintain PCI DSS Level 1…
