1	# Stripe Webhooks
2
3	## When to Use This Skill
4
5	- Setting up Stripe webhook handlers
6	- Debugging signature verification failures
7	- Understanding Stripe event types and payloads
8	- Handling payment, subscription, or invoice events
9
10	## Verification (core)
11
12	Stripe ships official SDK helpers that verify the `Stripe-Signature` header (HMAC-SHA256 over `timestamp.body`) and parse the event in one call. Pass the raw request body — don't `JSON.parse` first.
13
14	Node:
15
16	```javascript
17	const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
18
19	const event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(
20	rawBody, // Buffer or string of the raw HTTP body
21	req.headers['stripe-signature'],
22	process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET // whsec_… from the webhook endpoint settings
23	);
24	// Throws Stripe.errors.SignatureVerificationError on tampering or stale timestamp
25	```
26
27	Python:
28
29	```python
30	import stripe
31
32	event = stripe.Webhook.construct_event(
33	raw_body, # bytes of the raw HTTP body
34	request.headers["stripe-signature"],
35	os.environ["STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET"],
36	)
37	# Raises stripe.error.SignatureVerificationError on tampering or stale timestamp
38	```
