Webhook Update

Webhooks are used to update the data in a particular system in real-time, based on events that occur in another system. They are a tool that assists in keeping the data in two different systems in sync, in real time. They work by sending notifications to a defined URL of the occurrence of an event that has occurred in a particular system.

Instead of getting your app to make an API call every X number of minutes to check if a specific event has occurred, you can subscribe to webhook events which send a POST request from Takealot telling you the event has occurred and details of the event. This allows you to have more real-time data with far fewer API requests.

Which Seller Portal events can I be notified of?

You can receive notifications for the following event types:

New Leadtime Order
New Drop Ship Order
Sale Status Changed
Batch Completed
Offer Updated
Offer Created

Webhook Configuration on Repricer - Paste Secret Key from Takealot

Webhook Example:

Summary: Copy your webhook URL from repricer.co.za and paste it into the Takealot webhook form. After creating the webhook on Takealot, copy the generated secret key and paste it into the webhook secret key field on repricer.co.za.

Important Information:

Webhook URL & Delivery: When an event that your webhook subscribes to occurs, Takealot will make a POST request to your webhook's specified URL. Each of these is a delivery.
Secret: When you add a webhook, Takealot will generate a random string (a "Secret"). Takealot will use the body of each delivery and the Secret for the webhook to compute a hash using an HMAC hexdigest. The hash will be sent in an X-Takealot-Signature header, which you can use to verify the authenticity of a delivery.
Webhooks ensure real-time synchronization between Takealot and Repricer, allowing for instant updates when prices, inventory, or orders change.
