Webhooks

Webhooks notify your site or service when Members, Subscriptions, Orders, Plans, or Downloads change in Memberful. Create and manage webhooks from Settings → Integrate → Webhooks in your Memberful dashboard. You can use these webhooks to react to the change and create an account or sync data to your external application.

Memberful webhook "pings" are sent as POST requests with a JSON payload. You should ensure that the URL the webhook pings only responds to POST requests, and always fetches the latest copy of the order/member/plan/download from Memberful, so as to avoid any issues with the order of pings.

If a webhook ping does not receive a response code in the 2XX range (i.e. success), then the ping will be retried with exponential delay, until a response code in the 2xx range is returned. If we detect your webhook endpoint is not working for more than 2 days, we notify you and give you 3 days to fix the problem before it is automatically deleted.

Please note that all times are returned as Unix time except for subscription.* events which use GMT for the following attributes: created_at, expires_at, trial_end_at, and trial_start_at.

Example app

How you consume the webhooks is entirely up to you, but if you're looking for an example of how to get started we built a simple Google Firebase app. The app takes any of the subscription webhooks, extracts the subscription object, and stores it in Firestore using the subscription ID as a key.
