$response = $client->request('DELETE', 'https://api.shipping-channels.com/v1/webhook-subscriptions/wh_123456', [
    'headers' => [

    'Accept': 'application/json'
  }

  if (response.status === 204) {

  }
})
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

Implications of Deletion

When you delete a webhook subscription:

1. No further webhook notifications will be sent to the associated URL
2. All event subscriptions associated with the webhook subscription are removed
3. Any logs associated with the webhook subscription are retained (but can be accessed through the webhook subscription logs endpoints)
4. This action cannot be undone

If you want to temporarily stop receiving webhook notifications without deleting the webhook subscription, consider updating the webhook subscription's status to inactive instead of deleting it.

Alternative to Deletion

As an alternative to deletion, you can update the webhook subscription's status to inactive:

PUT /v1/webhook-subscriptions/{id}

{
  "status": "inactive"
}

This allows you to reactivate the webhook subscription later if needed.
