Xendit Integration Quickstart: Launch in 15 Minutes

CiptaNiaga Solutions playbook to connect payments, alerts and reporting—so your team ships faster and scales with confidence.

Reading time: 6–8 minutes | Author: CiptaNiaga Solutions

Why this matters

Modern teams run on many apps—payments, CRM, accounting, dashboards. CiptaNiaga Solutions helps you stitch them together with stable data sync, smart alerts and simple automation. Below is a practical, copy-ready guide to get Xendit live quickly and safely.

Prerequisites

Xendit account (Sandbox for testing, Production for live)
Callback/redirect URLs from your site or app
Access to add API keys / webhooks
Optional: CRM or accounting app you want to sync

Step-by-Step Quickstart

Create API Keys in Xendit (use Sandbox first). Store them securely.
Set Callback URL for invoices/charges so your app receives payment events.
Enable Events you care about (e.g., invoice paid/expired, refund created, payout status).
Connect Apps in CiptaNiaga Solutions: map payment data to CRM contacts, invoices and reports.
Send a Test Payment in Sandbox and confirm notifications/records flow end-to-end.
Add Alerts to Slack/Telegram or email for failures, timeouts and SLA thresholds.
Go Live: switch to Production keys, re-run a test with a small real transaction.

Webhook Sample (for testing & logging)

{
  "event": "invoice.paid",
  "timestamp": "2025-09-26T02:15:31Z",
  "data": {
    "id": "inv_demo_123",
    "external_id": "ORDER-1001",
    "amount": 12000,
    "currency": "MYR",
    "status": "PAID",
    "payer_email": "[email protected]",
    "paid_at": "2025-09-26T02:15:29Z"
  }
}

Tip: Always verify signatures/tokens from the header before updating your records. Log the raw JSON for audits.

Health Checklist (before you go live)

Check	What good looks like
Callbacks	200 response within < 2s, with retries configured for transient errors
Reconciliation	Every paid invoice matched to an order/invoice in your system
Alerts	Failed webhooks/timeouts trigger Slack/Email within 1 minute
Access	Production keys stored in vault, least-privilege users only
Dashboards	Daily revenue, refund rate and settlement timing visible to the team

Troubleshooting

Webhook 4xx: Inspect your auth headers and payload schema; respond with a simple {"ok":true} after persisting.
Duplicate updates: Use idempotency keys or check event IDs before processing.
Out-of-order events: Queue by invoice ID and process in timestamp order.
Sandbox works, live doesn’t: Confirm production callback URL, keys and firewall allowlists.

FAQs

Is this guide only for WooCommerce?

No—these steps work for most stacks. If you’re using WooCommerce, Shopify or a custom app, the ideas are the same: keys, callbacks, mapping and alerts.

Can I start in Sandbox and switch later?

Yes. Run the full flow in Sandbox, then swap to Production keys and URLs, and repeat one small real transaction before launch.
