I'm currently using a link that looks something like this

<%= link_to "CLICK HERE TO PAY WITH VENMO", "https://venmo.com/?txn=pay&recipients=#{@post.venmo_name}&amount=#{@post.price}" %>

However I would like a way to verify that the user made the payment. Is there any way for me to do this?

I work at Venmo.

You could use a webhook.

However, how are you confirming that the user who clicked on the link is the one who made the payment? (say two users click the link and only one makes a payment, how would you know which one made the payment?) Have you looked into using the Oauth API?

  • I can check information from the webhook against their account. My problem is that I do not know how to get a webhook. –  Jan 11 '15 at 18:34
  • Have you looked at the webhook documentation? https://developer.venmo.com/docs/webhooks – magni- Jan 12 '15 at 19:16
  • How do i know if my venmo app webhook has been verified? And do I have to always keep the verification on my webhook page? Or do I just need it originally to verify the page once? Here is my PHP code to verify... is that all I need to verify? – Murf Jan 05 '16 at 19:02
