# Picqer Webhooks
## When to Use This Skill
- How do I receive Picqer webhooks?
- How do I verify Picqer webhook signatures (`X-Picqer-Signature`)?
- How do I handle `orders.completed`, `picklists.closed`, or `products.stock_changed` events?
- Why is my Picqer webhook signature verification failing?
- Setting up a Picqer hook via the API (`POST /api/v1/hooks`)
## Verification (core)
Picqer signs the **raw request body** with HMAC-SHA256 keyed on the per-hook
`secret` you set when creating the hook, and sends the digest **base64-encoded**
in the `X-Picqer-Signature` header. Pass the **raw** body (never re-serialized
JSON) and compare timing-safe.
> **Important**: The `secret` is **optional** at hook creation. If you create a
> hook without a secret, Picqer sends **no** `X-Picqer-Signature` header and
> signature verification is impossible. Always set a secret so requests can be
> verified.
Node:
```javascript
const crypto = require('crypto');
function verifyPicqerWebhook(rawBody, signatureHeader, secret) {
if (!signatureHeader || !secret) return false;
const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(rawBody).digest('base64');
try {
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signatureHeader), Buffer.from(expected));
} catch {
return false; // length mismatch = invalid
}
}
```
Python:
```python
import hmac, hashlib, base64
def verify_picqer_webhook(raw_body: bytes, signature_header: str, secret: str) -> bool:
if not signature_header or not secret:
return False
expected = base64.b64encode(
hmac.new(secret.encode(), raw_body, hashlib.sha256).digest()
).decode()
return hmac.compare_digest(signature_header, expected)
```
The event type is in the JSON body's `event` field (there is no event header).
Verify the raw body first, then parse and dispatch on `payload.event`.

## Common Event Types
Picqer sends the event name in the payload's `event` field.
| Event | Triggered When |
|-------|----------------|
| `orders.created` | A new order is created |
| `orders.completed` | An order is fully processed |
| `orders.status_changed` | An order's status changes |
| `picklists.created` | A picklist is created |
| `picklists.closed` | A picklist is closed (picked) |
| `picklists.shipments.created` | A shipment is created for a picklist |
| `products.created` | A product is created |
| `products.stock_changed` | A product's stock level changes |
| `purchase_orders.created` | A purchase order is created |
| `returns.created` | A return is created |
> **For the full event list**, see [references/overview.md](references/overview.md)
> and the [Picqer webhooks documentation](https://picqer.com/en/api/webhooks).
## Payload Structure
```json
{
"idhook": 12345,
"name": "My hook",
"event": "orders.completed",
"event_triggered_at": "2026-07-22 10:30:00",
"data": { }
}
```
`data` holds the resource that triggered the event (an order, picklist,
product, etc.). Picqer sends no dedicated idempotency key — deduplicate retried
deliveries on the resource ID inside `data` (e.g. `data.idorder`) plus `event`
and `event_triggered_at`.
## Environment Variables
```bash
PICQER_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_hook_secret # The secret you set when creating the hook
```
## Setting Up a Hook
Manage hooks in the dashboard (Settings > Webhooks) or via the API using HTTP
Basic auth (your API key as the username, any/empty password):
```bash
curl -u YOUR_API_KEY: https://YOURSUBDOMAIN.picqer.com/api/v1/hooks \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "Order completed hook",
"event": "orders.completed",
"address": "https://your-app.com/webhooks/picqer",
"secret": "your_hook_secret"
}'
```
See [references/setup.md](references/setup.md) for full details (deactivate,
reactivate, retries, rate limits).
## Local Development
```bash
# Start tunnel (no account needed)
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 picqer --path /webhooks/picqer
```

## 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) — Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
- [Idempotency](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/idempotency.md) — Prevent duplicate processing (Picqer sends no dedicated idempotency key — dedupe on the resource ID + `event` + `event_triggered_at`)
- [Error handling](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/error-handling.md) — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
- [Retry logic](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/retry-logic.md) — Provider retry schedules, backoff patterns
