4. Webhooks & Instant Payment Notifications

When a customer payment succeeds, PhonePey sends an instant HTTP POST event to your Webhook URL. You can set your Webhook URL in Developer Settings:

                        WEBHOOK PAYLOAD (POST)
                    
{
  "event": "order.paid",
  "timestamp": "2026-08-22T17:21:00+05:30",
  "order_id": "ORD_174000123",
  "amount": "149.00",
  "utr": "412398765432",
  "status": "SUCCESS",
  "remark1": "Pro Plan Subscription"
}

                        PHP WEBHOOK LISTENER EXAMPLE
                    
<?php
$payload = file_get_contents('php://input');
$event = json_decode($payload, true);

if ($event && ($event['status'] ?? '') === 'SUCCESS') {
    $orderId = $event['order_id'];
    $utr = $event['utr'];
    $amount = $event['amount'];

    // Update your database order as PAID
    // fulfill_order($orderId, $utr);

    http_response_code(200);
    echo json_encode(['status' => 'acknowledged']);
} else {
    http_response_code(400);
}
?>

5. JavaScript Embed SDK (Popup Modal)

Recommended for Websites

<button onclick="checkout()" class="btn btn-primary">Pay ₹149 with UPI</button>

<script>
function checkout() {
  PhonePey.pay({
    user_token: "YOUR_USER_TOKEN",
    amount: 149.00,
    order_id: "ORD_" + Date.now(),
    title: "Pro Monthly License",
    customer_name: "John Doe",
    customer_mobile: "9876543210",
    onSuccess: function(data) {
      alert("Payment Successful! UTR: " + data.utr);
      window.location.reload();
    },
