Webhook debugging guide

Direct answer: To debug webhooks, generate a public catcher URL, point your provider at it, inspect headers and JSON bodies, verify HMAC signatures, then replay to localhost. BracketView Webhook Tester provides disposable endpoints with short retention for this workflow.

Step-by-step

  1. Step 1

    Create a catcher endpoint

    Open Webhook Tester and create a named endpoint.

  2. Step 2

    Send a test event

    Configure Stripe/GitHub/Shopify (or curl) to POST to the public URL.

  3. Step 3

    Inspect and replay

    Open the capture, verify signatures client-side, and replay to your local server.

FAQ

Are webhook URLs secret?

No. Treat them as public. Do not send long-lived secrets you would not put in a short-lived channel.
