During the payment process, CPN sends notifications using webhooks. These asynchronous notifications inform the entities on the progress of the payment and any required actions they must take. This guide demonstrates how to subscribe to CPN notifications as an OFI integrator. See Webhook Events for a complete list of the notifications that are sent over webhooks.

​
Steps

Use the following steps to set up a webhook endpoint and subscribe to notifications using the CPN API.

​
Step 1: Set up a subscriber endpoint

To receive webhook notifications, you must expose a publicly accessible subscriber endpoint. The endpoint must be able to handle both HEAD and POST requests over HTTPS.
Note: During OFI integration, Circle works directly with you to configure this endpoint.
For testing purposes, you can create an endpoint using webhook.site.

​
Step 2: Subscribe to notifications

Set up an endpoint to receive notifications instead of polling for event updates using the /v2/subscriptions endpoint.
Shell
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.circle.com/v2/cpn/notifications/subscriptions \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer ${YOUR_API_KEY}:' \
  --header 'Content-type: application/json' \
  --data '
{
    "endpoint": "${YOUR_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT}",
    "name": "Test OFI",
    "enabled": true,
    "notificationTypes": ["*"]
}
'
Response
JSON
{
  "data": {
    "id": "1609aa1c-510a-448d-b9b9-3a13566ff922",
    "name": "Test OFI",
    "endpoint": "https://webhook.site/1fde07a9-8974-42bd-a273-943ffdf0e7d6",
    "enabled": true,
    "createDate": "2025-05-08T16:20:02.825689Z",
    "updateDate": "2025-05-08T16:20:02.825689Z",
    "notificationTypes": ["*"],
    "restricted": false
  }
}
Webhook notifications are digitally signed with an asymmetric key. You can use information in the webhook header to verify that the content of the webhook is legitimate. For more information, see How-to: Verify Webhook Signatures.
