Hi everyone,

I'm currently integrating PayMongo into our platform and using webhooks to listen for payment events like payment.paid. I noticed that sometimes the webhook gets retried multiple times (which I understand can happen if the response isn't 2xx).

My question is: What’s the best way to handle webhook retries gracefully on the backend to avoid duplicate processing?

Right now, I'm thinking of storing event IDs and checking if they've already been handled before proceeding—but I'm not sure if that's the most efficient or recommended approach with PayMongo.

Any advice or best practices you’ve implemented in production would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance,
