Webhook Signature Verification

Verifying webhook signatures is essential for production environments to ensure the authenticity of webhook notifications and prevent fraudulent requests.
The signature must be verified to confirm the webhook originates from Cashfree. You’ll need your Cashfree Payment Gateway secret key and the raw payload.
  • The timestamp is in the header x-webhook-timestamp
  • The signature is in the header x-webhook-signature
Verification process:
  1. Concatenate the timestamp and raw request body: timestamp + rawBody
  2. Generate HMAC-SHA256 hash using your secret key
  3. Base64-encode the hash
  4. Compare with the x-webhook-signature header value
  • Node.js
  • Python
function verifyWebhookSignature(timestamp, rawBody, signature, secretKey) {
    const signatureString = timestamp + rawBody;
    const computedSignature = crypto
        .createHmac('sha256', secretKey)
        .update(signatureString)
        .digest('base64');
    
    return computedSignature === signature;
}
