How can you verify a webhook is genuinely from Shopify? 🔒 ```typescript app.post('/webhooks', (req, res) => { }); ```

### Explanation Shopify uses HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) signatures to verify webhook authenticity. Here's the secure implementation: ```typescript app.post('/webhooks', express.text({ type: '*/*' }), async (req, res) => { const { valid, topic, domain } = await shopify.webhooks.validate({ rawBody: req.body, rawRequest: req, rawResponse: res, }); if (!valid) { res.sendStatus(400); // Invalid HMAC signature return; } // Safe to process webhook - signature verified }); ``` Key points: - HMAC validation is the official Shopify security method - Secret tokens can be compromised - IP checking is unreliable (can be spoofed) - OAuth tokens are for API calls, not webhooks - Always validate before processing payload Reference: [Webhook HMAC Validation](https://shopify.dev/apps/webhooks/configuration/https#verify-webhook)

Answer Options:

  • Compare webhook secret token
  • Validate HMAC signature
  • Check request IP address
  • Verify OAuth access token
