WooCommerce Webhooks
When to Use This Skill
- Setting up WooCommerce webhook handlers
- Debugging signature verification failures
- Understanding WooCommerce event types and payloads
- Handling order, product, or customer events
- Integrating with WooCommerce stores
Essential Code (USE THIS)
WooCommerce Signature Verification (JavaScript)
const crypto = require('crypto');
function verifyWooCommerceWebhook(rawBody, signature, secret) {
if (!signature || !secret) return false;
const hash = crypto
.createHmac('sha256', secret)
.update(rawBody)
.digest('base64');
try {
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
Buffer.from(signature),
Buffer.from(hash)
);
} catch {
return false;
}
}
Express Webhook Handler
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
// CRITICAL: Use raw body for signature verification
app.use('/webhooks/woocommerce', express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }));
app.post('/webhooks/woocommerce', (req, res) => {
const signature = req.headers['x-wc-webhook-signature'];
const secret = process.env.WOOCOMMERCE_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
if (!verifyWooCommerceWebhook(req.body, signature, secret)) {
return res.status(400).send('Invalid signature');
}
const payload = JSON.parse(req.body);
const topic = req.headers['x-wc-webhook-topic'];
console.log(`Received ${topic} event:`, payload.id);
res.status(200).send('OK');
});
Next.js API Route (App Router)
import crypto from 'crypto';
import { NextRequest } from 'next/server';
export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
const signature = request.headers.get('x-wc-webhook-signature');
const secret = process.env.WOOCOMMERCE_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
const rawBody = await request.text();
if (!verifyWooCommerceWebhook(rawBody, signature, secret)) {
return new Response('Invalid signature', { status: 400 });
}
const payload = JSON.parse(rawBody);
const topic = request.headers.get('x-wc-webhook-topic');
console.log(`Received ${topic} event:`, payload.id);
return new Response('OK', { status: 200 });
}
FastAPI Handler
import hmac
import hashlib
import base64
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, HTTPException
app = FastAPI()
def verify_woocommerce_webhook(raw_body: bytes, signature: str, secret: str) -> bool:
if not signature or not secret:
return False
hash_digest = hmac.new(
secret.encode(),
raw_body,
hashlib.sha256
).digest()
expected_signature = base64.b64encode(hash_digest).decode()
return hmac.compare_digest(signature, expected_signature)
@app.post('/webhooks/woocommerce')
async def handle_webhook(request: Request):
raw_body = await request.body()
signature = request.headers.get('x-wc-webhook-signature')
secret = os.getenv('WOOCOMMERCE_WEBHOOK_SECRET')
if not verify_woocommerce_webhook(raw_body, signature, secret):
raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail='Invalid signature')
payload = await request.json()
topic = request.headers.get('x-wc-webhook-topic')
print(f"Received {topic} event: {payload.get('id')}")
return {'status': 'success'}
Common Event Types
| Event | Triggered When | Common Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
order.created | New order placed | Send confirmation emails, update inventory |
order.updated | Order status changed | Track fulfillment, send notifications |
order.deleted | Order deleted | Clean up external systems |
product.created | Product added | Sync to external catalogs |
product.updated | Product modified | Update pricing, inventory |
customer.created | New customer registered | Welcome emails, CRM sync |
customer.updated | Customer info changed | Update profiles, preferences |
Environment Variables
WOOCOMMERCE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_secret_key
Headers Reference
WooCommerce webhooks include these headers:
X-WC-Webhook-Signature- HMAC SHA256 signature (base64)X-WC-Webhook-Topic- Event type (e.g., "order.created")X-WC-Webhook-Resource- Resource type (e.g., "order")X-WC-Webhook-Event- Action (e.g., "created")X-WC-Webhook-Source- Store URLX-WC-Webhook-ID- Webhook IDX-WC-Webhook-Delivery-ID- Unique delivery ID
Local Development
For local webhook testing, install Hookdeck CLI:
Then start the tunnel:
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 woocommerce --path /webhooks/woocommerce
No account required. Provides local tunnel + web UI for inspecting requests.

This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
embedded-captions
heygen-com/hyperframes
Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
