Shopify Webhook Monitoring that catches dropped orders.
Every orders/create, customers/update, and app/uninstalled tracked, with HMAC verification and dedup-by-webhook-id built in. Wrap your handler once — get a real-time dashboard, alerts, and replay protection.
Why monitor Shopify webhooks specifically?
Shopify retries failed webhooks for up to 48 hours and removes the topic from your subscription after enough consecutive failures — meaning silent regressions can cost you orders, fulfilments, and inventory sync. Bad HMAC, slow handlers, and 5xx responses go unnoticed in your app logs but show up immediately here.
HMAC verification
Built-in HMAC-SHA256 with timing-safe comparison. Invalid requests get 401 before your handler runs.
Idempotency
Dedupe on x-shopify-webhook-id. Retries return the cached response — no double-fulfilment.
Latency tracking
P50/P95/P99 per topic. Spot regressions before Shopify auto-unsubscribes you for slow responses.
Real-time alerts
Slack, Discord, or email when a topic starts failing or your error rate spikes.
60-second install
Wrap your existing Shopify webhook handler. The SDK auto-verifies HMAC, handles dedup, and ships telemetry to your dashboard. Your handler runs unchanged.

v1.5 · silent drops
Catch handlers that returned 200 OK but never actually processed the order. Especially nasty for Shopify — once the response is acknowledged, the event is gone. Guide →
v1.5 · signature diagnostics
When X-Shopify-Hmac-Sha256 verification fails, the dashboard surfaces the specific reason (wrong secret, body re-parsed before verification) and the likely fix.
