How to Test Razorpay Webhooks Locally

This article explains how to test Razorpay webhooks locally by setting up a stable endpoint URL, replaying events without re-triggering payments, and accessing the raw webhook payload for debugging. To do this, you'll need a Node.js environment, Express.js, and an understanding of HMAC-SHA256 signature verification. The guide provides a minimal Express server that accepts and logs Razorpay webhooks, verifies the signature, and processes payment events. This allows you to catch bugs early and debug signature verification, payload parsing, or idempotency logic safely.
