# Webhooks

Discord and JSON webhooks allow you to receive notifications for events happening on your PayNow store. This can be useful for various things, like keeping track of activity.

### How do I create a Discord webhook and connect it to my PayNow store?

1. Visit the [Webhooks](https://dashboard.paynow.gg/webhooks) page located on your dashboard sidebar

3. Select the type of webhook you wish to use, either Discord or JSON. If you use a Discord URL it will autofill to the Discord option

4. If you choose to use Discord, on the endpoint URL simply put the Discord webhook URL you get after creating a webhook in your Discord. If you don't know how to create a Discord webhook, follow this [guide](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks)
5. For Discord webhooks it's best to create one webhook entry per event if you wish to show Completed Orders, Refunds & Chargeback embeds. To do this let's start with the `Order Completed` event. Subscribe to the `Order Completed` event inside the `Subscribed To` field

6. Next you can edit the embed as you wish. All available variables for each event can be found by hovering over `Discord Embed Template` or by looking at [this page](/integration/webhooks/discord-placeholders.md).  Once you have the embed you wish you press update. This will make the event all set up for an `Order Completed` event. See the image below for a completed setup of the `Order Completed` event with some example variables.&#x20;

7. Now the event is fully set up for the `Order Completed` event. To set up other events, like Refunds, Chargebacks, or Subscriptions, repeat steps 2-6 for each one. Make sure to adjust the variables for each event, as they may differ.
