The X-Razorpay-Signature header on a webhook is a hex-encoded HMAC SHA256 computed over the raw request body and keyed with the webhook secret entered when the webhook was created in the dashboard. It is not keyed with the API key secret used for checkout signature verification, and it is set per endpoint, so test and live endpoints hold different secrets. Using the wrong key produces a mismatch on every event with no other diagnostic.

The body must be the untouched bytes; re-serialising parsed JSON changes the digest. Confirm by computing the HMAC offline against a captured request with both candidate secrets. Store the webhook secret under its own distinctly named environment variable so the two can never be confused, and reject rather than log the payload when verification fails.
