Shopify Webhooks
When to Use This Skill
- Setting up Shopify webhook handlers
- Debugging signature verification failures
- Understanding Shopify event types and payloads
- Handling order, product, or customer events
Verification (core)
Shopify signs the raw body with HMAC-SHA256 keyed on the app's API secret and sends the digest in X-Shopify-Hmac-SHA256 as base64 (not hex). Pass the raw body, decode base64, and compare timing-safe. The topic is in X-Shopify-Topic; the shop domain in X-Shopify-Shop-Domain.
Node:
const crypto = require('crypto');
function verify(rawBody, hmacHeader, secret) {
if (!hmacHeader) return false;
const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(rawBody).digest('base64');
try {
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(hmacHeader), Buffer.from(expected));
} catch {
return false;
}
}
Python:
import hmac, hashlib, base64
def verify(raw_body: bytes, hmac_header: str, secret: str) -> bool:
if not hmac_header:
return False
expected = base64.b64encode(
hmac.new(secret.encode(), raw_body, hashlib.sha256).digest()
).decode()
return hmac.compare_digest(hmac_header, expected)
Important: Shopify requires the endpoint to respond with 200 within 5 seconds. Process work asynchronously if the handler is slow.
For complete handlers with route wiring, event dispatch, and tests, see:

- examples/nextjs/
- examples/fastapi/
Common Event Types (Topics)
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
orders/create | New order placed |
orders/updated | Order modified |

Note: While the REST Admin API is becoming legacy for apps created after April 1, 2025, existing apps can continue using the REST API. New apps should consider using the GraphQL Admin API for webhook management.
