# Tebex Webhooks
## When to Use This Skill
- Setting up Tebex webhook handlers
- Debugging Tebex `X-Signature` verification failures
- Completing the `validation.webhook` handshake so an endpoint activates
- Handling payment, dispute, and recurring-payment events
## Verification (core)
Tebex has no SDK. Verify the hex `X-Signature` header manually. The signature
is **two-step**: SHA-256 hash the **raw** request body, then HMAC-SHA256 that
hex hash using your webhook secret as the key. Do **not** `JSON.parse` before
verifying โ a re-serialized body produces a different hash.
Node:
```javascript
const crypto = require('crypto');
function verifyTebexSignature(rawBody, signatureHeader, secret) {
const bodyHash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(rawBody).digest('hex');
const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(bodyHash).digest('hex');
const received = Buffer.from(signatureHeader || '');
const expectedBuf = Buffer.from(expected);
return received.length === expectedBuf.length &&
crypto.timingSafeEqual(received, expectedBuf);
}
```
Python:
```python
import hashlib, hmac
def verify_tebex_signature(raw_body: bytes, signature: str, secret: str) -> bool:
body_hash = hashlib.sha256(raw_body).hexdigest()
expected = hmac.new(secret.encode(), body_hash.encode(), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
return hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature or "")
```
**Validation handshake:** On setup Tebex sends a `validation.webhook` ping.
After verifying the signature, respond `200` with `{"id": "<payload.id>"}`
echoing the received `id`, or the endpoint never activates.

## Common Event Types
| Event | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `validation.webhook` | Setup ping โ echo the `id` back with a 200 to activate the endpoint |
| `payment.completed` | A payment completed successfully |
| `payment.declined` | A payment was declined |
| `payment.refunded` | A payment was refunded |
| `payment.dispute.opened` | A chargeback/dispute was opened |
| `payment.dispute.won` | A dispute was resolved in your favor |
| `payment.dispute.lost` | A dispute was resolved against you |
| `payment.dispute.closed` | A dispute was closed |
| `recurring-payment.started` | A subscription began |
| `recurring-payment.renewed` | A subscription renewed |
| `recurring-payment.ended` | A subscription ended |
| `recurring-payment.cancellation.requested` | A subscription cancellation was requested |
| `recurring-payment.cancellation.aborted` | A pending cancellation was aborted |
> **For the full event reference**, see [Tebex Webhooks](https://docs.tebex.io/developers/webhooks/overview).
## Payload Structure
Every webhook has the same envelope: `id` (unique webhook ID), `type` (event
name), `date` (ISO timestamp), and `subject` (event-specific data).
## Environment Variables
```bash
TEBEX_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_secret_here # Creator Panel > Developers > Webhooks > Endpoints
```
## Source IP Allowlist
Tebex sends webhooks only from `18.209.80.3` and `54.87.231.232`. The docs
suggest returning `404` to requests from any other IP. See
[references/verification.md](references/verification.md) for an example.
## Local Development
```bash
# Start tunnel (no account needed)
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 tebex --path /webhooks/tebex
```

## Recommended: webhook-handler-patterns
We recommend installing the [webhook-handler-patterns](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/tree/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns) skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Key references (open on GitHub):
- [Handler sequence](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/handler-sequence.md) โ Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
- [Idempotency](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/idempotency.md) โ Prevent duplicate processing
- [Error handling](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/error-handling.md) โ Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
- [Retry logic](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/retry-logic.md) โ Provider retry schedules, backoff patterns
