Never trust webhook payloads without signature verification.Use Raw Body
Verify against the raw request body, not parsed JSON.Rotate Secrets
Rotate webhook secrets periodically (every 90 days).Return 200 Quickly
Process webhooks asynchronously:Testing
Generate Test Signature
Send Test Webhook
Troubleshooting
