How will we know when a payment is received?

We’ll notify you via webhooks for all successful collections, regardless of the method used — Interac, bank transfer, or card payment. We’ll also notify you when a transaction (payout) is initiated. This is very useful for CAD payouts where you need the Interac question and answer before the payment is completed. Customer-level transitions are also sent to your collection_url. The wire event_type is always customer.status_changed — inspect new_status (VERIFIED, REJECTED, PROCESSING, PENDING) to know which way the customer moved. The same single event covers both type=individual (KYC) and type=business (KYB) customers. There are no per-owner or per-KYB-document webhooks; the customer-level event is the only signal you need to track. See Business customer KYB for the KYB-specific lifecycle. Always verify the x-blaaiz-signature header using your webhook signing_secret before processing a webhook.

Why did a CAD collection fail, and how do we find the reason?

If a CAD collection fails, Blaaiz sends a collection webhook with transaction_status set to FAILED. The webhook adds a failure_reason field. This field gives the reason from the payment provider. Blaaiz sends failure_reason one time, on the failure webhook only. A webhook replay does not include the failure_reason field. Do not release goods or value for a FAILED collection. No funds move, and Blaaiz does not credit your CAD wallet. See CAD collection webhook for the full failed payload.

What happens when an Interac money request expires?

An Interac money request expires when the payer does not approve it before its expiry time. The default expiry time is 48 hours after you create the request. You can set a shorter time with expiry_hours. When a money request expires, Blaaiz sends a collection webhook with transaction_status set to EXPIRED and message set to Transaction Expired. No funds move. Do not release goods or value. Use the webhook to close the pending request in your system. To find these transactions later, pass status: EXPIRED to the List transactions endpoint.

What information is included in the webhook?

The webhook payload includes transaction details such as:
  • Sender’s information (where available)
  • Amount
  • Transaction reference
  • Status
See Webhook events and Signature verification for the full payload and verification guidance.
