Ecommerce Webhooks

A webhook is an HTTP-based callback function that enables direct communication between web applications. It is distinct from APIs in that it eliminates the need for polling by shifting the communication responsibility to the server, avoiding repetitive client calls to check for events. Webhooks allow one application to send automatic notifications or trigger actions in another application whenever a specific event occurs.

In the e-commerce module, webhooks are essential for tasks such as sending notifications and automating workflows triggered by events like order creation or updates. For example, you can use a webhook for an order creation event to update inventory or automatically send notifications in real-time.
