Fix webhook signature verification fail

Webhook signature verification fails when the computed HMAC doesn't match the header. Common causes: wrong secret, payload modification, or encoding mismatch.

Common causes

  • Using the wrong webhook secret.
  • Verifying raw body vs parsed JSON.
  • Stripe: timestamp tolerance exceeded.

How to fix

  • Use the exact secret from your provider dashboard.
  • Verify against the raw request body, not parsed JSON.
  • Use Signature Validator to test.
