Troubleshooting Common Issues

Webhook Delivery Failures

If webhooks aren’t being delivered:

Verify your Webhookify.app URL is correctly configured in Dodo Payments
Check that your webhook endpoint is active and responding
Ensure you’ve selected the correct events in Dodo Payments
Review Webhookify.app logs for error details

Event Processing Delays

Webhook delivery typically occurs within seconds, though some events may take slightly longer during high traffic periods. Factor these potential delays into your application logic.

Missing Notifications

If you’re not receiving notifications:

Verify your notification preferences are correctly set up in Webhookify.app
Check your email spam folder if using email notifications
Ensure push notifications are enabled if using mobile alerts
Test with different notification channels to identify issues

Duplicate Event Handling

Webhookify.app includes built-in duplicate detection, but you should implement robust handling using event IDs provided in webhook payloads. This ensures your system processes each event only once, regardless of delivery duplicates.

Advanced Configuration Options

Multiple Webhook Management

Consider setting up separate Webhookify.app endpoints for different purposes:

Critical alerts: Payment failures, chargebacks, security issues
Business operations: Successful payments, routine refunds, subscription events
Analytics: All events for data warehousing and business intelligence

Event Filtering Strategies

Configure Dodo Payments to send only relevant events to specific Webhookify.app endpoints:

High-priority events to instant notification channels (mobile, Slack)
Routine events to email summaries and logging systems
Analytics events to data processing and reporting tools

Team-Specific Notifications

Set up different notification channels for different team members:

Finance team: Revenue events, refunds, financial summaries
Customer service: Payment failures, refund requests, customer issues
Operations: Order fulfillment triggers, inventory impacts
Management: High-level summaries, critical alerts, business metrics

Security Best Practices

While Webhookify.app handles much of the security automatically, consider these additional measures:

Regularly monitor webhook logs for unusual activity
Set up alerts for webhook delivery failures
Review and update event selections periodically
Maintain separate webhooks for different environments (production, staging, testing)
