Subscribe to donation.created

A donor initiates a donation - UPI, card or net-banking. Fires BEFORE payment confirmation, so a paired donation.paid listener is required to credit your ledger.

When does donation.created fire?

A donor lands on a checkout flow and submits payment intent. The donation row exists in the database with status='pending'; the gateway has been called but hasn't confirmed payment yet.

What developers build with it

• → Pre-populate a thank-you queue ready to fire on .paid
• → Real-time fundraising dashboards showing live donation attempts
• → Anti-fraud screening before the payment clears
• → Wallet / loyalty-points accrual prep

    http_response_code(401); exit;
