Preguntas frecuentes
Why use HMAC for webhook verification?
HMAC ensures two things: the request came from the legitimate sender (authentication) and the payload wasn't modified in transit (integrity). Simple API keys only provide authentication.
What happens if I don't verify webhooks?
An attacker could send fake webhook events to your endpoint — triggering unauthorized actions like refunds, account changes, or data modifications.
