# Webhooks

<details>

<summary><strong>Why are webhooks important and where can the merchant read more on this?</strong></summary>

* Ensure that orders are updated even if the customer abandons the Hosted Payment Page (HPP).
* Synchronize orders with Verifone Central so that any modification done on Verifone is reflected in WooCommerce as well (**e.g.**: refunds performed on Verifone Central).
