Compute Signature and Verify

The signature must be used to verify if the request has not been tampered with. To verify the signature at your end, you will need your Cashfree PG secret key along with the payload. Timestamp is present in the header x-webhook-timestamp 
timestamp := 1617695238078;  
signedPayload := $timestamp.$payload;
expectedSignature := Base64Encode(HMACSHA256($signedPayload, $merchantSecretKey));```

​
Sample Code

​
Verify Signature using SDK


var express = require('express')
import { Cashfree } from "cashfree-pg"; 
var app = express()

Cashfree.XClientId = "<x-client-id>";
Cashfree.XClientSecret = "<x-client-secret>";
Cashfree.XEnvironment = Cashfree.Environment.SANDBOX;

app.post('/webhook', function (req, res) {
    try {
        Cashfree.PGVerifyWebhookSignature(req.headers["x-webhook-signature"], req.rawBody, req.headers["x-webhook-timestamp"]))
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(err.message)
    }
})

​
Compute Signature and Verify manually


function verify(ts, rawBody){
    const body = req.headers["x-webhook-timestamp"] + req.rawBody;
    const secretKey = "<your secret key>";
    let genSignature = crypto.createHmac('sha256',secretKey).update(body).digest("base64");
    return genSignature
}
