PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETEDPayPal does not use HMAC with a shared secret. Instead, each webhook is
signed with PayPal's private key, and you verify it with the matching public
certificate delivered per request via the paypal-cert-url header. The
algorithm is RSA-SHA256 ("SHA256withRSA").
Two valid verification paths:
webhook_id, and the raw webhook_event body to PayPal's
endpoint. Requires an OAuth
access token. PayPal returns ./v1/notifications/verify-webhook-signature{ "verification_status": "SUCCESS" }paypal-cert-url (cache it; validate the host ends with
.paypal.com), build the message
transmissionId|transmissionTime|webhookId|crc32(rawBody), and verify the
base64 signature against the cert's public key using RSA-SHA256.The examples in this skill use the offline approach because it is testable without OAuth and avoids an extra API call per webhook. The postback path is documented in references/verification.md.
| Header | Purpose |
|---|---|
paypal-transmission-id | Unique webhook transmission ID |
paypal-transmission-time | ISO 8601 timestamp of transmission |
paypal-transmission-sig | Base64-encoded RSA-SHA256 signature |
paypal-cert-url | URL of the public cert (must be a *.paypal.com host) |
paypal-auth-algo | Signing algorithm, e.g. SHA256withRSA |
<transmissionId>|<transmissionTime>|<webhookId>|<crc32(rawBody)>
crc32(rawBody) is the standard CRC-32 of the raw HTTP body as an unsigned
decimal integer. webhookId is the ID of the webhook registered in your
PayPal app (env var PAYPAL_WEBHOOK_ID).
