How to Test and Debug Webhooks
Step-by-step guide to receiving and inspecting webhook payloads using the DevHexLab Webhook Tester.
Tool Used
Webhook Tester
1
Open the Webhook Tester
Navigate to /tools/network/webhook-tester. The tool generates a unique temporary URL for you.
2
Copy the webhook URL
Copy the unique URL shown in the tool. Configure your service (Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, or any webhook sender) to send payloads to this URL.
3
Trigger the webhook
Perform the action in the source service that triggers the webhook. For example, create a test payment in Stripe's test mode.
4
Inspect the payload
The incoming request appears in the tool with the full headers, the request body, and a timestamp. Use this to understand the payload structure and debug your handler logic.
All done!
You are ready to use Webhook Tester like a pro.
