Like an event webhook, a function webhook sends a JSON notification to a URL you specify each time something happens on your store. For example, you can configure the Shipping Calculator webhook to send a notification to an external shipping service every time a shopper requests shipping costs for an order.
While an external system only sends an HTTP status code in response to an event webhook POST request, a system must respond to a function webhook POST request with information in JSON format. You must implement the external system’s API to write code that processes the request and sends a response to Oracle Commerce Cloud. For example the Shipping Calculator webhook expects a set of shipping methods and their prices, which are displayed to the shopper who has requested them.
Oracle Commerce Cloud includes the following function webhooks:
Webhook | Description |

Shipping Calculator | Integrates shipping services (such as UPS, USPS, or FedEx) into your store. See Integrate with External Shipping Calculators for more information. |
