How to test Paddle webhooks locally
Paddle fires webhooks for subscription events, payments, and refunds. Capture them with RelayFox to see the exact payload before writing your handler.
- 1Create a free RelayFox URL on the homepage (no signup needed).
- 2Paste it as your webhook endpoint: Paddle Dashboard → Developer Tools → Notifications → New Destination.
- 3Trigger an event (e.g. subscription.created) and watch it arrive live in RelayFox.
- 4Run the CLI to forward captured events to your local server:
npx relayfox forward <endpoint-id> --to http://localhost:3000 --token rfx_...
- 5Inspect headers, body and replay any event as many times as you need.
RelayFox preserves the Paddle-Signature header when forwarding, so Paddle's signature verification works against your local server unchanged.
