Configure notifications

If you want, you can receive Webhook notifications. These are sent from our Integrations API to your receiving system through an HTTP POST call, and alert you about all changes related to the states of payment intents.

To integrate them, follow the instructions in the Webhook notifications documentation. You will need to activate the Point Integrations events to receive these updates.

Once you have implemented the notifications and made the necessary adjustments, they will have the following format:

Final status of a payment intent when the transaction ends.

{
"amount": 100,
"caller_id": 09876543,
"client_id": 1234567890,
"created_at": "2021-11-29 17:10:37",
"id": "abcdef123-8ab5-4139-9aa3-abcd123",
"payment": {
  "id": 123456789,
  "state": "approved",
  "type": "credit_card"
},
"state": "FINISHED",
"additional_info": {
  "external_reference": "information"
}
}

It occurs when the payment intent ends without a payment status. Once obtained, this status will not change. When you receive it, you must confirm on your device what the payment status is, using the payment_id received in the response, before delivering your product or service.

{
"amount": 100,
"caller_id": 09876543,
"client_id": 1234567890,
"created_at": "2021-11-29 17:10:37",
"id": "abcdef123-8ab5-4139-9aa3-abcd123",
"payment": {
  "id": 123456789,
  "state": "",
  "type": ""
},
"state": "CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED",
"additional_info": {
  "external_reference": "information"
}
}

Final status of a payment intent when it is canceled.

{
"amount": 100,
"caller_id": 09876543,
"client_id": 1234567890,
"created_at": "2021-11-29 17:10:37",
"id": "abcdef123-8ab5-4139-9aa3-abcd123",
"state": "CANCELED",
"additional_info": {
  "external_reference": "information"
}
}

Final status of a payment intent when a transaction error occurs.

{
"amount": 100,
"caller_id": 09876543,
"client_id": 1234567890,
"created_at": "2021-11-29 17:10:37",
"id": "abcdef123-8ab5-4139-9aa3-abcd123",
"state": "ERROR",
"additional_info": {
  "external_reference": "information"
}
}

You can receive notifications about events generated by each of your point devices. This way, you will de able to control and monitor your devices. These notifications may be caused by:

• Terminal restarts.
• Logouts.
• Change in the operating mode from PDV to STANDALONE or vice versa.

The notifications will reach your email registered in Mercado Pago. In case you cannot find them, make sure to check your SPAM folder.

You can see how these notifications will look like below.

To activate the notifications, it is necessary to enable the integrator's email channel. To do so, you can use the following command:

curl --location --request PATCH 'https://api.mercadopago.com/point/integration-api/integrator' \
--h 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
        "event_channel_devices": [
                "email"
        ]
}'

Once the notification channel is configured, you can check its status by executing the following command:

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.mercadopago.com/point/integration-api/integrator' \
--h 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

The response will be similar to the following:

{
  "id": 1234567890,
  "created_at": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": "0002-02-02T00:00:00Z",
  "notification_url_enabled": true,
  "event_channel_devices": [
    "email"
  ]
}
