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:

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:

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.

⚠️ 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.

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.

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. Some objects are camelCase or multi-segment (e.g. sca.wallet.create, qes.created).

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.

Local Development

# 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 skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Key references (open on GitHub):

• Handler sequence — Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
• Idempotency — Dedupe on webhook_id (Treezor may deliver duplicates)
• Error handling — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
• Retry logic — Treezor retries every minute, up to 30 attempts
