Outbound webhooks
HMAC-signed JSON pushed to your endpoint when anything changes.
Subscribe to events and we'll POST signed JSON to any HTTPS endpoint you configure. Deliveries retry on failure with exponential backoff, and you can rotate signing secrets without dropping events.
What it does
- Events for orders, inventory, customers, returns, and subscription changes
- HMAC-SHA256 signature with a timestamp (replay-proof)
- 7-day dual-signature grace period on secret rotation
- Automatic retries with exponential backoff + manual replay from the dashboard
Verify an inbound webhook in Node.js
import crypto from "node:crypto";
export function verify(req, secret) {
const sig = req.headers["x-webhook-signature"];
const body = req.rawBody; // already a Buffer/string
const expected = crypto
.createHmac("sha256", secret)
.update(body)
.digest("hex");
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
Buffer.from(sig, "hex"),
Buffer.from(expected, "hex"),
);
