How can merchants be notified about EFWs in real time?

• A. They can be emailed to the merchant.
• B. They appear in the dashboard only after 24 hours.
• C. Listen for EFW Webhooks using our API.
• D. They are used to generate refunds automatically.

Answer: (C)

Real-time event notifications are delivered via webhooks. When an EFW event occurs, you can set up a webhook endpoint so the system immediately pushes that event to your service. Listening for EFW Webhooks using our API is the correct approach because it provides instant updates, allowing you to automate actions, alert users, and keep your records in sync as events happen. Relying on email can be delayed or unreliable, and a dashboard update after 24 hours isn’t real-time. The idea of generating refunds automatically isn’t about how you receive the event notifications, but rather about taking actions in response to events; webhooks themselves are the mechanism for delivering those event messages in real time. In practice, you configure your endpoint, subscribe to the relevant EFW event types, and verify and handle the incoming events (including retries and idempotency) to keep your system accurate and up to date.
