+====== WebHooks ======
+===== What is a Webhook? =====
+Taken directly from the official WebHook website:
+"The concept of a WebHook is simple. A WebHook is an HTTP callback: an HTTP POST that occurs when something happens; a simple event-notification via HTTP POST."
+In other words, a WebHook is a method by which your application can react to events that occur during the Subscription Life cycle (e.g. a new subscription, a recurring payment is declined, a subscription is upgraded, etc.).  For example, your blog or iPhone app can use WebHooks to grant customers access to special content, and restrict access to others.
+For more information, you can read more at the [[http://wiki.webhooks.org/w/page/13385124/FrontPage|official webhook site]].
+===== How it works =====
+A WebHook URL is saved in your Merchant Settings.  The URL points to a script in your app.  We send a form POST message to your script when there is an event (e.g. a sign-up). Your script uses the information in the POST to trigger an action (e.g. enable content to a new user).
+A [[merchant_guide:notifications_list_callbackurl|full list of events]] and sample scripts are available.
+===== WebHook URL =====
+The WebHook URL, which is set in the [[merchant_guide:notifications|Notification Settings]] area of the Merchant Center (separately for each //store//), defines the location of script on your Web site or App that contains code designed by you to interpret and react to the information provided by SubscriptionBridge in the //post-back message//.
+Here the steps required to configure your Webhook URL:
+  - Log into the [[https://www.subscriptionbridge.com/merchantcenter/login.asp|Merchant Center]].
+  - Navigate to "Notification Settings"
+  - Under "Advanced Settings" find "Post-back / Webhook URL"
+  - Type your URL into the box. We recommend using a secure URL.
+  - Click "Save Notification Settings" at the bottom of the page.
+===== Webhook Script =====
+Unlike Post-backs, a Webhook POST can be received without any complex parsing.
+Since the Webhook is a form POST you can retrieve the values the same way you would with any other form on your web site.

+We recommend that you use a site, such as [[http://postcatcher.in/|PostCatcher]], to collect the WebHooks.
