About this skill

PayPro Global Webhooks (IPN)

PayPro Global calls its webhooks IPN — Instant Payment Notification. When an order or subscription event occurs, PayPro Global sends an HTTP POST with a application/x-www-form-urlencoded body (not JSON) to the IPN URL you configure. Verification is bespoke: it is not HMAC-in-a-header and not Standard Webhooks.

When to Use This Skill

  • How do I receive PayPro Global IPN webhooks?
  • How do I verify the PayPro Global SIGNATURE (SHA256) parameter?
  • How do I verify the PayPro Global HASH (MD5) parameter?
  • Why is my PayPro Global signature verification failing?
  • How do I handle OrderCharged, OrderRefunded, or SubscriptionChargeSucceed events?
  • How do I restrict IPN requests to PayPro Global's IP addresses?

Verification (core)

PayPro Global has three independent layers — verify all that you can:

  1. IP allowlist — requests come only from fixed PayPro Global IPs (IPv4 198.199.123.239, 157.230.8.40; IPv6 2604:a880:400:d0::1843:7001, 2604:a880:400:d1::b6c:c001).
  2. SIGNATURE — SHA256 (hex) over seven field values concatenated in this exact order: ORDER_ID + ORDER_STATUS + ORDER_TOTAL_AMOUNT + CUSTOMER_EMAIL + VALIDATION_KEY + TEST_MODE + IPN_TYPE_NAME.
  3. HASH — MD5 of ORDER_ID + SecretKey for real orders, or MD5("1") for test orders.

VALIDATION_KEY (for SIGNATURE) and SecretKey (for HASH) are two different keys. Both live under Store Settings → General Settings → Integration. Mixing them up is the most common verification bug.

The signature covers specific field values, not the raw request body — so parsing the form first is correct here (unlike HMAC-over-raw-body providers). Recompute server-side and compare timing-safely (Node):

const crypto = require('crypto');

// SIGNATURE = SHA256(ORDER_ID + ORDER_STATUS + ORDER_TOTAL_AMOUNT +
//   CUSTOMER_EMAIL + VALIDATION_KEY + TEST_MODE + IPN_TYPE_NAME). Order and the
// inclusion of TEST_MODE + IPN_TYPE_NAME are easy to get wrong — keep them exact.
function verifySignature(f, validationKey) {
  const base = `${f.ORDER_ID ?? ''}${f.ORDER_STATUS ?? ''}${f.ORDER_TOTAL_AMOUNT ?? ''}` +
    `${f.CUSTOMER_EMAIL ?? ''}${validationKey}${f.TEST_MODE ?? ''}${f.IPN_TYPE_NAME ?? ''}`;
  const expected = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(base, 'utf8').digest('hex');
  const a = Buffer.from(expected);
  const b = Buffer.from(String(f.SIGNATURE ?? '').toLowerCase());
  return a.length === b.length && crypto.timingSafeEqual(a, b);
}

For complete handlers with HASH verification, IP allowlisting, event dispatch, and tests, see:

Common Event Types

The event name arrives in the IPN_TYPE_NAME field. Note the non-standard spelling SubscriptionChargeSucceed (not "Succeeded").

IPN_TYPE_NAME Triggered When Common Use Cases
OrderCharged A one-time order (or first subscription charge) is paid Fulfil order, grant access, send license
OrderRefunded An order is fully refunded Revoke access, update accounting
OrderPartiallyRefunded An order is partially refunded Adjust balance, partial revoke
OrderChargedBack A chargeback is opened Suspend account, gather evidence
OrderChargedBackWon A chargeback dispute is won Restore access
OrderDeclined A payment attempt is declined Notify customer, retry flow
SubscriptionChargeSucceed A recurring subscription charge succeeds Extend subscription period
SubscriptionChargeFailed A recurring charge fails Dunning, notify customer
SubscriptionRenewed A subscription renews Extend access
SubscriptionSuspended A subscription is suspended Pause access
SubscriptionTerminated A subscription is terminated Revoke access
SubscriptionFinished A subscription reaches its natural end Offer renewal

See references/overview.md for the full event list.

Environment Variables

PAYPRO_VALIDATION_KEY=your_validation_key   # For SIGNATURE (SHA256). Store Settings → General Settings → Integration
PAYPRO_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key           # For HASH (MD5). Same tab, DIFFERENT key. Optional but recommended.

Local Development

# Start tunnel (no account needed)
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 paypro-global --path /webhooks/paypro-global

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 — PayPro Global retries every 30 minutes for up to 3 attempts on non-200 responses
  • Error handling — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
  • Retry logic — Provider retry schedules, backoff patterns
