3	## When to Use This Skill

5	- Setting up Paddle webhook handlers
6	- Debugging signature verification failures
7	- Understanding Paddle event types and payloads
8	- Handling subscription, transaction, or customer events
9
10	## Verification (core)
11
12	Paddle signs every webhook with HMAC-SHA256 over `timestamp:rawBody`. The `Paddle-Signature` header is `ts=<unix>;h1=<hex>` (multiple `h1=` values appear during secret rotation). Pass the raw request body — don't `JSON.parse` first.
13
14	The official `@paddle/paddle-node-sdk` exposes `paddle.webhooks.unmarshal(rawBody, secretKey, signature)` which verifies and parses in one call. For Python (or when not using the SDK), verify manually:
15
16	Node:
17
18	```javascript
19	const crypto = require('crypto');
20
21	function verifyPaddleSignature(rawBody, signatureHeader, secret) {
22	const parts = signatureHeader.split(';');
23	const ts = parts.find(p => p.startsWith('ts='))?.slice(3);
24	const signatures = parts.filter(p => p.startsWith('h1=')).map(p => p.slice(3));
25	if (!ts \|\| signatures.length === 0) return false;
26
27	const expected = crypto
28	.createHmac('sha256', secret)
29	.update(`${ts}:${rawBody}`)
30	.digest('hex');
31
32	return signatures.some(sig =>
33	crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(sig), Buffer.from(expected))
34	);
35	}
36	```
37
38	Python:
39
40	```python
41	import hmac, hashlib
42
43	def verify_paddle_signature(raw_body: str, signature_header: str, secret: str) -> bool:
44	parts = signature_header.split(';')
45	ts = next((p[3:] for p in parts if p.startswith('ts=')), None)
46	signatures = [p[3:] for p in parts if p.startswith('h1=')]
47	if not ts or not signatures:
48	return False
49
50	expected = hmac.new(
51	secret.encode(), f"{ts}:{raw_body}".encode(), hashlib.sha256
52	).hexdigest()
53
54	return any(hmac.compare_digest(sig, expected) for sig in signatures)
55	```

62	## Common Event Types
63
64	\| Event \| Description \|
65	\|-------\|-------------\|
66	\| `subscription.created` \| New subscription created \|
67	\| `subscription.activated` \| Subscription now active (first payment) \|
68	\| `subscription.canceled` \| Subscription canceled \|
69	\| `subscription.paused` \| Subscription paused \|
70	\| `subscription.resumed` \| Subscription resumed from pause \|
71	\| `transaction.completed` \| Transaction completed successfully \|
72	\| `transaction.payment_failed` \| Payment attempt failed \|
73	\| `customer.created` \| New customer created \|
74	\| `customer.updated` \| Customer details updated \|

108	We recommend installing the [webhook-handler-patterns](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/tree/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns) skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Key references (open on GitHub):
