Best consistent post-order creation action/hook

    I am using Woocomerce and, once an order is successfully paid, I need to make an API call to a third party website. I only want to send if the customer successfully pays. I have a plug-in place to do this, but am having some issues always getting it to fire.

    What is the best action to hook into if a user successfully pays, but will only ever fire one time? If they only accept credit cards, is the best option woocommerce_payment_complete? Or is there a better option that will always work?

    I originally had it set to fire with woocommerce_payment_complete, but it never seems to fire, as, until we have the credit card portion setup, I am testing w/ COD as a payment method.

    I am able to get it to fire using woocommerce_thankyou but, if I understand it correctly, if the customer refreshes the “thank you” page, this would re-fire? If so, I don’t want that. Or I could check if an order has fired off, but that seems like extra work that shouldn’t bee needed.

    TIA!
