Technical notes

Yoco uses a hosted redirect: Evenda creates a checkout with your secret key and redirects the buyer to the Yoco page. The result arrives as a webhook signed to the Standard Webhooks spec, which Evenda verifies with HMAC-SHA256 using your webhook secret before the order is marked paid — so the status stays correct even if the buyer closes the tab.

Connect Yoco to Evenda to sell tickets across South Africa with cards and Apple Pay, and settle to your own account.
