| 3 | ## When to Use This Skill |
| 4 | |
| 5 | - Setting up Coinbase Commerce webhook handlers for cryptocurrency payments |
| 6 | - Debugging `X-CC-Webhook-Signature` verification failures |
| 7 | - Understanding Coinbase Commerce charge event types and payloads |
| 8 | - Handling `charge:confirmed`, `charge:failed`, or `charge:pending` events |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ## Verification (core) |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Coinbase Commerce signs the **raw request body** with HMAC-SHA256 keyed on your |
| 13 | webhook **shared secret** and sends the hex digest in the `X-CC-Webhook-Signature` |
| 14 | header. Verify against the raw body (never the parsed JSON) and compare |
| 15 | timing-safe. The event object is nested under the `event` key in the body. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Node — use the official [`coinbase-commerce-node`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/coinbase-commerce-node) SDK: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ```javascript |
| 20 | const { Webhook } = require('coinbase-commerce-node'); |
| 21 | |
| 22 | // Throws SignatureVerificationError on mismatch; returns the verified event. |
| 23 | // rawBody MUST be the raw request body string, not re-serialized JSON. |
| 24 | const event = Webhook.verifyEventBody(rawBody, signature, sharedSecret); |
| 25 | console.log(event.type, event.data.id); // e.g. "charge:confirmed" |
| 26 | ``` |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Manual (any language) — HMAC-SHA256 hex of the raw body, timing-safe compare: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | ```python |
| 31 | import hmac, hashlib |
| 32 | |
| 33 | def verify(raw_body: bytes, signature: str, secret: str) -> bool: |
| 34 | expected = hmac.new(secret.encode(), raw_body, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest() |
| 35 | return hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature or "") |
| 36 | ``` |

| 43 | ## Common Event Types |
| 44 | |
| 45 | | Event | Triggered When | |
| 46 | |-------|----------------| |
| 47 | | `charge:created` | A new charge is created | |
| 48 | | `charge:pending` | Customer paid; payment detected on-chain but not yet confirmed | |
| 49 | | `charge:confirmed` | Payment confirmed — the charge is complete | |
| 50 | | `charge:failed` | The charge failed or expired without full payment | |
| 51 | | `charge:delayed` | Payment arrived late or was underpaid/overpaid | |
| 52 | | `charge:resolved` | A previously delayed charge has been resolved | |
| 53 | |

| 58 | | Header | Description | |
| 59 | |--------|-------------| |
| 60 | | `X-CC-Webhook-Signature` | HMAC-SHA256 (hex) of the raw request body | |
| 61 | |
| 62 | ## Environment Variables |
