Requote webhooks

Sell transaction requote required webhook

Overview

The sell_transaction_requote_required webhook notifies you when a sell transaction requires a requote due to price changes or other market conditions. This webhook lets you surface requote notifications in-app, a better experience than email-only notifications. Webhook Type: sell_transaction_requote_required Full payload schema: sell_transaction_requote_required reference

Use case

When a sell transaction requires a requote, users traditionally receive only an email notification. This approach has several limitations:

Users may not check their email immediately
Email notifications can be missed or filtered to spam
There’s no in-app acknowledgment of the requote

By subscribing to this webhook, you can:

Display in-app notifications when requotes occur
Prompt users to accept new quotes within your application
Provide a smooth, high-intent user experience
Reduce transaction abandonment due to missed requotes

Webhook payload

The webhook delivers the full Sell transaction object under data, with status set to requoteRequired, the same payload shape as the other sell_transaction_* events. The example below is truncated to the fields most relevant to handling a requote.
