Let me give you an example

A webhook is like installing a doorbell on your front door: it will chime and let you know everytime someone is at the front door.

A callback is like when you call up a tech support line for your ISP and they tell you’re that you’re #57 in the queue, but if you can press #, provide your phone number, and they’ll call you when you’re at the top of the queue.

The difference is a webhook tells you all the time when something happens, while a callback is letting you know when something is done/finished/ready etc just the one time.
