Webhooks

When you submit an app in the app store, you can specify a webhook URL that we call when changes to data happens on a shop that has your app installed. The kind of notifications you receive depends on what your app has Read access to. If it has read access to products, it will receive product-related change notifications.

Callback

The data we send to you will consist of an array of “changes” that have occured. Typically there will only be one change in this array, but since we may occasionally bulk events, your system must be able to handle several changes per request.

Each change consists of a string array of fields that have changed, a version of the change (more on that further down this documentation), and a “newValues” and an “oldValues” object representing how the object looked before and after.

To determine what kind of data has changed, we also send a “objectType” field which describes what kind of entity have been changed

An identifier (called “objectIdentifier”) will always be included for the data that has changed as well. For instance, if the data is a product, that ID will be the product number.

Example: Update

In update changes, both “newValues” and “oldValues” is present.

Note also that “<FieldName>Delta” fields are included in “newValues”. These fields are unique to “update”-related changes, but can have a significant impact on the stability of your webhook URL implementation. For more information, see the “Idempotence” section.

Example: Create

In create changes, only “newValues” is present, and “oldValues” is null.

Example: Delete

In delete changes, only “oldValues” is present, and “newValues” is null.

 

Authenticity

How to verify that the webhook url is requested by the DanDomain webhooks system and not some other system ? And that the body content have not been altered by other systems.

When a hook is fired against the hook url, the request will always contain a http header called  x-webhook-signature.
The x-webhook-signature will contain a HMAC signature of the payload send in request body.

This HMAC can be used by the receiver of the hook to verify the validity of the hook.

This should be done by the receiver, by comparing the value of the x-webhook-signature header with a HMAC computed by the receiver.
The hook request should only be trusted if these values are equal.

To calculate the HMAC of the hook body on the receiver end, create a HMACSHA512 of the hook body using the hook secret. And make sure to base64 encode this hash.

C# example

HMAC secret

Secrets can be generated using the admin panel, but be sure to notice that changing a secret will mean you need to change secret used for HMAC in the reciever

App Components

An app in the Webshop consists of the components described below. The “menu item” and the “App API permissions” are installed in the Webshop upon app installation. The AppShortCodes  and AppScripts are optional components that can be added by the app developer using the shop API, after an app has been installed.

  • Menu item in the left menu of the shop administration module links to an embedded iframe that load an external website.
    • The URL loaded in the iframe is defined creating the app in the partner portal. The URL can be individually modified for each unique shop installation of the app.
    • To identify the individual shop calling the external website, the webshop identifier is appended to the app iframe URL as querystring parameter “shopidentifier”.
  • App API permissions are defined by shop API user and usergroup, which are defined when creating the app in the partner portal.
    • The user key is returned as a request parameter appended to the install URL defined.
  • AppShortCodes which can be inserted in “shop texts” and “design templates” to render custom code snippets. NOTE: The shop owner is always responsible for manually inserting or removing ShortCodes in the shop, as the use of these may vary from site to site and design to design.
    • A ShortCode consists of a variable name, script content and a type, which determines where the ShortCode can be inserted.The name of the ShortCode is defined by the app developer when injecting it through the WebAPI.To make the ShortCode name unique, an app prefix (defined during creation of the app in the partner portal) and a hyphen is appended to the name specified by the app developer. Furthermore the ShortCode is wrapped in [[ ]] brackets when inserted in shop.An example:
      A ShortCode injected with the name “MyShortCode” and the provided prefix “MyApp” gives the ShortCode “[[MyApp-MyShortCode]]“.
    • A type has to be defined for the ShortCode. The type defines where the ShortCode will be available as replace variable.Valid types for the shortcodeType property of the appShortCodeDto are as follows:
      SOAP REST DESCRIPTION
      Everywhere 1 Available on both texts and design templates
      Texts 2 Can be used on all text field under “Design/Texts”
      ProductInfo 3 Design template
      ProductList 4 Design template
      ProductListInfo 5 Design template
      Price 6 Design template
      Related 7 Design template
      Frontpage 8 Design template
      FrontpageInfo 9 Design template
      Basket 10 Design template
      ShowBasket 11 Design template
      ShowBasketInfo 12 Design template
      Favorites 13 Design template
      OrderStepOne 14 Design template
      ProductListSubPage 15 Design template

       

  • AppScripts which will be rendered in the shop frontend for a specific site and shop page.
    1. An AppScript consists of three script sections:
      1. HEAD
        Content in the head script is rendered in the HTML HEAD tag after any other shop specific content.
      2. BODY START
        Content in the body start script will be rendered in the top of the HTML BODY tag.
      3. BODY END
        Content in the body end script will be rendered in the bottom of the HTML BODY tag.
    2. An AppScript can be limited to a specific shop page, or rendered for all requests using these values in the pageType property of the appScriptDto.
      SOAP REST DESCRIPTION
      All 0 Displayed on all page requests
      Frontpage 8 /shop/frontpage.html
      Productlist 9 All productlists (including search, specialoffers, and news)
      Productinfo 10 Product details
