To verify Stripe webhook signatures, you validate the raw payload signature against your endpoint's secret. This ensures webhook requests genuinely originate from Stripe, preventing fraudulent payment notifications from being processed.

Prevent duplicate Stripe webhook processing by implementing idempotent handling through event deduplication. This requires storing processed event IDs in a database to check if an event has already been handled before executing business logic.

Re-fetching current state from Stripe after receiving a webhook ensures reliable decision-making. This event revalidation handles edge cases like partial refunds, disputes, and currency mismatches by checking the latest payment status directly.

Yes, you need a database to handle Stripe webhook idempotency. Event deduplication requires storing processed event IDs, which allows the system to identify and skip previously handled payment notifications securely.

Yes, you can use the Stripe SDK for webhook signature verification. The Skill requires the Stripe SDK as a dependency to validate raw payload signatures and securely process incoming payment notifications.
