Payment charges webhook
A payment charges webhook is triggered after a successful payment when Cashfree finalises the Transaction Discount Rate (TDR) and related charges for that payment. The event time can be later than the payment time. Use this webhook to reconcile per-payment charges and the net settlement amount. To receive this event, subscribe to Success Payment TDR when you configure webhooks in the Merchant Dashboard. The webhooktype in the payload is PAYMENT_CHARGES_WEBHOOK.
