Webhooks are crucial for getting updates and notifications from the Adyen platform. Those events include confirmation about, e.g., payment authorizations, modifications of existing payments, changes in the account data, or the availability of a new report. For any developers integrating with the Adyen platform, it's essential to receive, acknowledge, and consume this information stream and ensure their ecommerce or payment is always up to date.

Our teams also pay significant attention to keep improving the framework, ensuring reliability and performance meet the needs of our merchants and their use cases.

As part of this simplification effort, we have introduced a different way to acknowledge webhooks.
