custom webhook URL/recipient ID when creating a checkout object to ensure good deliveries on payment platforms about coinbase-commerce-node HOT 4 OPEN

Yeah unfortunately It seems this is just a gateway to get people to use their normal service and or data mine which I completely understand and still highly appreciate this free option. Great point on the Oath for convivence, my first thought is security which isn't really needed here because you can't do anything but make addresses but for onboarding it definitely simplifies things. I will write them myself and write back if I get a meaningful response.

I have been researching how Shopify handles this integration and I have some input on this. Surely Shopify can't be making api calls until its complete or cancelled right? That seems unsustainable at their size. I'm wondering if they have access to some undocumented feature that allows a webhook to be created with a charge like you recommend here.

I have an ecommerce platform myself with merchants and currently I have them type in the api key and set a webhook url. I would like to eliminate that point of failure so they don't have to do that. I don't know that we need a full oauth setup but ill take whatever I can get to resolve this odd way of integrating.

As for your concern with EU compliance, as far as I know this doesn't violate that because the wallet belongs to the merchant and they are simply providing an easy way to interact with the public blockchain. I'm not a lawyer but that's my understanding.

Thanks for the feedback on the initial report. I completely agree and forcing a webhook URL is a MINIMUM for platforms. There can be many errors just because of a non working webhook that can indeed lead to bigger very important problems if not handled accordingly.

oAuth integration would be much better since it would make the process intuitive and I wouldn't need to store api keys on the database which is IMO a big problem too, PayPal and stripe do that and you only need to store the merchant ID with no credentials needed.

Please coinbase team, make this happen, I can't understand how this is still a thing: at least let us force the webhooks 🥺.

@Aeroverra ill follow you so you can let me know if you find any updates about this. I'll also tell you something if I hear about it, I posted this privately by other contact means to the coinbase team. Sadly they don't seem to be too attentive on this gh repo
