Reliable webhook handling is a platform risk decision, not just an endpoint integration task. You are not only accepting an `HTTP POST` and parsing `JSON`. You are deciding how your system behaves when delivery is imperfect, including replayed events, and whether that behavior still holds up under audit.
If payout correctness is business-critical, the upgrade decision is not "webhooks or events" in the abstract. It is how to reduce missed signals, contain duplicate side effects, and give operators proof of what happened without rebuilding everything at once.
If you run payouts into an ERP, "just use an API and a webhook" is not enough. The design has to survive retries, late events, and finance scrutiny without creating duplicate payouts or broken reconciliation. The real question is not which transport looks modern. It is which pattern keeps postings correct, traceable, and recoverable when delivery gets messy.
