Webhook Setup
To avoid network issues from affecting order updates, we recommend setting up a Webhook URL. This will ensure that your store is notified when payments are completed. You can copy the Webhook URL provided on the settings page and paste it into your Kora dashboard under Settings > API Keys & Webhooks.
