Testing Webhooks

• Use a client like Insomnia (opens new window) to feed sample order JSON to your site's local webhook endpoint.
• Use the testing/demo site (opens new window) to run automated tests and/or poke at webhooks in a safe environment. All email there is captured with Mailhog (opens new window), which provides a web GUI for inspecting messages that would have gone out into the wild.

Health Check

You can optionally send a POST request to /actions/snipcart/test/check-health to verify that the Snipcart plugin is installed and capable of handling webhook requests. If all's well, the response will look like this:

{
  "status": "healthy"
}

TIP

Configure uptime tools like Pingdom, UptimeRobot and StatusCake to send a post check and verify a successful response.
