FAQPage Schema

How do I verify Shopify webhooks using HMAC signature checks?▼

To verify Shopify webhooks, you validate the X-Shopify-Hmac-SHA256 header against your shared secret using the raw request body. This Skill provides runnable examples for Express, Next.js, and FastAPI to ensure secure delivery and authentic event processing.

Can I handle Shopify GDPR webhooks like customer data redaction?▼

Yes, you can handle Shopify GDPR webhooks including data_request and redaction events. This Skill demonstrates secure endpoint setup for these compliance events alongside standard operations like orders/create and customers/create.

Does this webhook signature verification work with Next.js App Router?▼

Yes, webhook signature verification works with Next.js App Router. This Skill includes multi-runtime examples covering Next.js, Express, and FastAPI to validate X-Shopify-Hmac-SHA256 across common frameworks.

Why does Shopify webhook verification fail without raw body handling?▼

Shopify webhook verification fails without raw body handling because the HMAC signature is calculated against the exact raw payload. Modifying the body before verifying the X-Shopify-Hmac-SHA256 header alters the hash and invalidates the signature check.

How do I securely manage the Shopify API secret for webhook endpoints?▼

You securely manage the Shopify API secret by storing it in your environment variables. This Skill requires configuring the SHOPIFY_API_SECRET to validate the X-Shopify-Hmac-SHA256 header and authenticate incoming webhook events safely.

What is the best way to test Shopify webhook reception locally?▼

The best way to test Shopify webhook reception locally is by using tunneling tools like ngrok or Hookdeck. This allows you to expose your local Express, Next.js, or FastAPI endpoint to receive and verify live Shopify webhook events.
