# Consume webhooks

> The recommended first steps for receiving and processing COPE webhook events.

# Consume webhooks

Start with a durable HTTPS endpoint that verifies signatures, stores the received CloudEvent identity, and processes each event idempotently.

Register webhook endpoints in the COPE dashboard.

## Recommended flow

1. Create an HTTPS endpoint on your service, for example `https://checkout.example.com/cope/webhooks`.
2. Verify the webhook signature against the endpoint secret.
3. Persist the CloudEvents `source` + `id` tuple before applying business effects.
4. Process the event based on `type` and validate `data` against the linked schema.
5. Return 2xx only after durable acceptance.

The public event set covers cart, checkout, order, payment, refund, dispute, chargeback, and payout milestones. Some lifecycle events are visible before their payload schema is published; treat those as not ready for payload-dependent integrations.
