spent 3 days integrating paddle. the api worked in 20 minutes. the other 2.5 days was webhooks. I just finished adding Paddle for subscription billing on my product page... The actual api part 1/ create subscription, 2/ charge customer almost took maybe 30+ min. docs were decent .. not bad, standard REST, using claude it helped me..nothing crazy. Then I got to webhooks/async and everything fell apart lol.. :) first thing, their signature verification needs raw body. but my express app already parsing it to json by the time my webhook route gets it. so the signature never matches. I spent like 3 hours thinking my secret key was wrong before i realized the body was getting modified by middleware. I had to add that preserveRawBody thing on the json parser which only works for application/json content type btw then event ordering hit me. The customer buys subscription, you expect **subscription.created** first right? nope. sometimes **subscription.activated** shows up before .created.…
