In order to keep the Toast platform's webhook support operating with optimum performance, timeouts are enforced on requests sent to webhook endpoints. This protects the webhook system from endpoints that may be experiencing issues or are poorly implemented. Currently, these timeouts are:
-
Connection timeout: If the Toast platform experiences a timeout greater than 2 seconds while trying to connect to the webhook endpoint, it will abandon the update request.
Important
Toast API clients must return a 2xx response within the 2-second window to acknowledge the event, before processing any additional business logic.
-
Socket timeout: If the Toast platform experiences a timeout longer than 2 seconds while sending an update request or while waiting for a webhook endpoint to acknowledge receipt of a request, it will abandon the request.
