Transfercompleted

Sent when a transfer completes successfully (any direction: company→user, user→company, user→user).

Verifying Signatures

Every webhook includes x-sideshift-signature and x-sideshift-timestamp headers. Your webhook secret is provided when you configure webhooks in Settings → Connect.

Compute the expected signature as HMAC-SHA256(secret, timestamp.rawPayload) and compare using a constant-time comparison.

const crypto = require("crypto");

function verify(payload, timestamp, signature, secret) {
  // Reject old webhooks to prevent replay attacks
  if (Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) - parseInt(timestamp) > 300) return false;

  const expected = crypto
    .createHmac("sha256", secret)
    .update(`${timestamp}.${payload}`)
    .digest("hex");
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expected));
}

Python:

import hmac, hashlib, time

def verify(payload, timestamp, signature, secret):
    if int(time.time()) - int(timestamp) > 300:
        return False
    expected = hmac.new(secret.encode(), f"{timestamp}.{payload}".encode(), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
    return hmac.compare_digest(signature, expected)

Reliability

• Return a 200 within 5 seconds to acknowledge receipt. Do heavy processing asynchronously.
• Non-2xx responses are retried with exponential backoff (up to 5 retries over ~8 hours).
• Webhooks may be delivered more than once — deduplicate by event ID.
• Sandbox mode delivers webhooks identically to production.
