Technical notes

Kora uses a Checkout Redirect: Evenda initializes a charge and redirects the buyer to the hosted checkout. On return Evenda runs a server-side verify by reference, and a server-to-server webhook (charge.success) is authenticated by the x-korapay-signature header (HMAC-SHA256 of the data object with your Secret Key) before the order is marked paid — so the status stays correct even if the buyer closes the tab.

Connect Kora to Evenda to sell tickets across Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana, and settle to your own account.
