## Code

```php
$wpide_webhook_timeout = 20; // Seconds.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_webhook_http_args', function ( $args ) use ( $wpide_webhook_timeout ) {
    $args['timeout'] = $wpide_webhook_timeout;

    return $args;
} );
```

## Notes

WooCommerce's default is 5 seconds, and webhooks are sent in the background so customers never wait.
