Chargebee Webhooks

When to Use This Skill

• Setting up Chargebee webhook handlers
• Debugging Basic Auth verification failures
• Understanding Chargebee event types and payloads
• Processing subscription billing events

Essential Code

Chargebee uses Basic Authentication for webhook verification. Here's how to implement it:

Express.js

// Verify Chargebee webhook with Basic Auth
// NOTE: Chargebee uses Basic Auth (not HMAC signatures), so raw body access
// is not required. Use express.json() for automatic JSON parsing:
app.post('/webhooks/chargebee', express.json(), (req, res) => {
  // Extract Basic Auth credentials
  const auth = req..;
   (!auth || !auth.()) {
     res.().();
  }

  
   encoded = auth.();
   decoded = .(encoded, ).();
   [username, password] = decoded.();

   expectedUsername = process..;
   expectedPassword = process..;

   (username !== expectedUsername || password !== expectedPassword) {
     res.().();
  }

  
   event = req.;
  .(, event.);

  
   (event.) {
     :
     :
     :
      
      ;
     :
     :
      
      ;
  }

  res.().();
});
