STACK • Node.js v20.20.0 • Express backend • Stripe Checkout + Webhooks • PM2 process manager • Nginx reverse proxy • Cloudflare proxy (SSL Full Strict) • Ubuntu 22.04 VPS (Hetzner) Architecture: Cloudflare ↓ Nginx (HTTPS reverse proxy) ↓ Node.js (PM2) ↓ Express webhook endpoint Webhook endpoint: [login to view URL] Testing is performed using Stripe CLI. PROBLEM: Stripe webhook signature verification works locally, but fails in production. Local testing: stripe listen --forward-to http://localhost:3000/api/webhook Result: 200 OK Webhook verified successfully Production testing: stripe listen --forward-to [login to view URL] Result: 400 Bad Request No signatures found matching the expected signature Debugging confirms: [login to view URL] → Buffer = true Meaning the Express route receives a raw body, but the payload may be altered upstream (likely by Nginx or Cloudflare) before Stripe signature verification. WHAT I NEED: A developer to: • Diagnose the cause of the Stripe webhook signature failure in production • Configure Nginx and Express correctly to preserve the raw webhook payload • Verify middleware order ([login to view URL]() before body parsers) • Test using Stripe CLI • Ensure webhook verification succeeds and returns 200 OK Deliverables: • Working Stripe webhook verification in production • Any necessary code or Nginx configuration changes • A short explanation of the fix and proof of a successful webhook event

Hello, I understand you need reliable Stripe webhook verification in production for your Express/Node.js stack behind Nginx and Cloudflare. I’ll diagnose why production signatures fail and implement a robust, repeatable fix that preserves the raw request body end-to-end so Stripe can verify signatures. My Plan: - Audit the current middleware order and ensure the raw body is captured before any JSON parsers ([login to view URL]( type: 'application/json' ) precedes [login to view URL]()). - Adjust Nginx rules to avoid buffering or modifying the body and ensure proper proxy buffering and header forwarding for Stripe webhooks. - Align Cloudflare SSL settings with Stripe’s expectations, keeping Full Strict while not altering the payload. - Implement a verified webhook handler using Stripe’s library, log signature verification results, and return 200 OK on success. - Validate with Stripe CLI in production-like routing, confirming 200 responses for signed payloads. - Deliver minimal, well-documented code changes and a short write-up explaining the fix with proof of a successful event. In a closely related project, I fixed a Stripe webhook verification issue for a Node/Express app behind Nginx and Cloudflare, restoring reliable 200 responses and accurate event handling after replacing the body-parsing order and Nginx config.

Hello, we checked your requirement to fix the Stripe webhook signature verification issue. This error usually occurs when the webhook payload is modified before verification, the wrong webhook secret is used, or the request body is parsed instead of using the raw payload. Our team at Ambient Infotech has strong experience with Stripe integrations, payment workflows, and webhook debugging. We can quickly diagnose the issue, ensure the webhook uses the raw request body for verification, validate the correct endpoint secret, and fix the webhook handling so Stripe events are processed reliably. Quick question: which backend framework or language is the webhook implemented in (Node.js, PHP, Laravel, etc.)? Best regards, Ambient Infotech

Hi there, I see you're having trouble with Stripe webhook signature verification in production, which works fine locally. The issue likely stems from how Nginx or Cloudflare is processing the incoming request, altering the payload before it reaches your Express app. With 4+ years of experience in Node.js, Express, and server configuration, I can help diagnose and fix this issue. My approach will involve checking the Nginx setup to ensure it correctly passes the raw body to your webhook endpoint and adjusting the middleware in Express to handle the raw payload properly. I'll also conduct thorough testing using the Stripe CLI to confirm that everything works smoothly. Could you share if there have been any recent changes to your Nginx or Cloudflare settings that might have impacted webhook processing? Best regards, Arslan Shahid

Hi, I can fix this for you. The issue is usually not Stripe itself, but the production request being changed before signature verification, most often from middleware order, Nginx handling, or proxy behavior in front of Express. I can trace the exact cause on your VPS, correct the Express and Nginx setup so the raw webhook body stays untouched, test it properly with Stripe CLI, and make sure your production endpoint verifies successfully and returns 200 OK. Have you already confirmed that the production endpoint is using the webhook secret from the same Stripe CLI session you are forwarding with? Let’s discuss detail via chat.
