Stripe Webhook Signature Verification Failing

Stripe webhook endpoint receives events but signature verification fails. Webhook handler rejects legitimate events. Payment events aren't processed correctly. Security validation throws errors.

Stripe signs webhooks with your endpoint secret. Verification ensures events are authentic and haven't been tampered with. Signature mismatch indicates wrong secret or data corruption.

Error Messages You Might See

No signatures found matching the expected signature for payloadInvalid signatureWebhook signature verification failed

Common Causes

  1. Wrong webhook endpoint secret (test vs live, or miscopied)
  2. Raw body required for verification but parsed body used instead
  3. Timestamp too old (Stripe rejects >5 min old)
  4. Environment mixing (test webhook signed with test secret, etc.)
  5. Multiple webhook endpoints with wrong secrets

How to Fix It

Use raw body for Stripe verification:

// Express with raw body middleware
app.post('/webhook', express.raw({type: 'application/json'}), 
  (req, res) => {
    const sig = req.headers['stripe-signature'];
    const event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(
      req.body, sig, process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
    );
    // Handle event
  }
);

Verify you're using correct endpoint secret from Stripe dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find webhook secret?

Stripe Dashboard > Developers > Webhooks > select endpoint > show signing secret

Why use raw body?

Signature is computed on raw bytes. Parsing JSON changes bytes, breaking verification. Always use raw body for Stripe webhooks.
