# Treezor Webhooks

## When to Use This Skill

- How do I receive Treezor webhooks?
- How do I verify the Treezor `object_payload_signature`?
- Why is my Treezor webhook signature verification failing?
- How do I handle Treezor events like `payin.create`, `cardtransaction.create`, or `user.kycreview`?
- How do I subscribe to Treezor webhooks via the API?

## Verification (core)

Treezor uses a **custom HMAC-SHA256 scheme** — **not** Standard Webhooks — and the
signature is a **field inside the JSON body**, not an HTTP header. Webhooks arrive
with a `text/plain` MIME type, so parse the body yourself.

Each body carries `object_payload` (the object data) and `object_payload_signature`.
To verify, re-serialize `object_payload` to Treezor's canonical form (the same string
PHP's `json_encode` produces): **compact separators, forward slashes escaped (`/` →
`\/`), and non-ASCII escaped to lowercase `\uXXXX`**. Then HMAC-SHA256 it with your
`webhook_secret`, base64-encode, and compare timing-safe.

Node:

```javascript
const crypto = require('crypto');

function canonicalize(objectPayload) {
  // Match PHP json_encode: compact, slashes escaped, non-ASCII as \uXXXX
  return JSON.stringify(objectPayload)
    .replace(/\//g, '\\/')
    .replace(/[\u0080-\uffff]/g, (ch) =>
      '\\u' + ch.charCodeAt(0).toString(16).padStart(4, '0'));
}

function verify(objectPayload, receivedSignature, secret) {
  if (!receivedSignature) return false;
  const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(canonicalize(objectPayload), 'utf8')
    .digest('base64');
  try {
    return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(receivedSignature), Buffer.from(expected));
  } catch {
    return false; // length mismatch = invalid
  }
}
```

Python:

```python
import hmac, hashlib, base64, json

def canonicalize(object_payload) -> str:
    # ensure_ascii escapes non-ASCII to \uXXXX; compact separators; escape slashes
    return json.dumps(object_payload, ensure_ascii=True, separators=(",", ":")).replace("/", "\\/")

def verify(object_payload, received_signature: str, secret: str) -> bool:
    if not received_signature:
        return False
    expected = base64.b64encode(
        hmac.new(secret.encode(), canonicalize(object_payload).encode(), hashlib.sha256).digest()
    ).decode()
    return hmac.compare_digest(received_signature, expected)
```

> **Gotcha**: The signature is computed over the **re-serialized `object_payload`**, not
> the raw request body. If your canonical string doesn't byte-match Treezor's (slash
> escaping, `\uXXXX` casing, or key order), verification fails. See
> [references/verification.md](references/verification.md).

> ⚠️ **Security: only `object_payload` is signed.** The envelope fields — `webhook`
> (the event name), `webhook_id`, `object` and `object_id` — are **outside the signed
> region** and stay untrusted even after verification succeeds. Use them for logging
> and routing hints only, and **derive business state from the verified
> `object_payload`** (re-fetch from Treezor's API for money-moving or KYC-gated
> decisions). See [references/verification.md](references/verification.md).

> **Response codes**: Return **200** on success. Return a **5xx** to trigger a retry
> (Treezor retries every minute, up to 30 attempts). Deliveries are chronological but
> **not order-guaranteed** and may be **duplicated** — dedupe on `webhook_id`.

> **For complete handlers with route wiring, event dispatch, and tests**, see:
> - [examples/express/](examples/express/)
> - [examples/nextjs/](examples/nextjs/)
> - [examples/fastapi/](examples/fastapi/)

## Common Event Types

Event names follow an `object.action` pattern, carried in the `webhook` body field.

| Event | Triggered When |
|-------|----------------|
| `payin.create` | A pay-in (incoming funds) is created |
| `payin.update` | A pay-in changes state |
| `payout.create` | A payout (outgoing SEPA transfer) is created |
| `payout.update` | A payout changes state |
| `transfer.create` | A wallet-to-wallet transfer is created |
| `transaction.create` | A ledger transaction is recorded |
| `cardtransaction.create` | A card authorization/settlement occurs |
| `card.create` | A card is issued |
| `card.update` | A card's status/limits change |
| `wallet.create` | A wallet is opened |
| `user.create` | A user is created |
| `user.update` | A user's data changes |
| `user.kycreview` | A user's KYC review status changes |

> **Full event reference**: [Treezor Webhooks documentation](https://docs.treezor.com/guide/webhooks/introduction.html).
> Some objects are camelCase or multi-segment (e.g. `sca.wallet.create`, `qes.created`).

## Environment Variables

```bash
TREEZOR_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_secret   # Provided by your Treezor Account Manager
```

## Subscribing to Webhooks

Webhooks are managed on a **different host** from the main API:

- Production: `https://webhook.api.treezor.co`
- Sandbox: `https://webhook.sandbox.treezor.co`

Subscribe with `POST /settings/hooks`, then manage which events it receives via
`/settings/hooks/{uuid}/events`. New subscriptions start **PENDING** and may require
Treezor to activate them. See [references/setup.md](references/setup.md).

## Local Development

```bash
# Start tunnel (no account needed)
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 treezor --path /webhooks/treezor
```

## Recommended: webhook-handler-patterns

We recommend installing the [webhook-handler-patterns](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/tree/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns) skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Key references (open on GitHub):

- [Handler sequence](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/handler-sequence.md) — Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
- [Idempotency](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/idempotency.md) — Dedupe on `webhook_id` (Treezor may deliver duplicates)
- [Error handling](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/error-handling.md) — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
- [Retry logic](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/retry-logic.md) — Treezor retries every minute, up to 30 attempts
