Order notifications

This section describes the various types of order notifications available when a payment reaches a certain status.

For a large number of payment statuses, Worldpay can send an email or an HTTP message whenever a payment changes status. Order notifications are available in a number of formats allowing for integration with your back-office system.

Order notifications provide a reliable mechanism for updating the status of payments in your back-office system. When your system receives an order notification it should be able to interpret it and distribute the data to the appropriate process or processes.

For more information on the general structure of XML order notification and how to interpret them, see the Order Notifications Guide.
