The Paddle-Signature header holds a timestamp field and a hash field separated by a semicolon, in the form of a ts value and an h1 value. Verification builds the signed payload by concatenating the timestamp, a literal colon, then the raw request body, computes an HMAC SHA256 with that destination's secret key, and compares hex digests in constant time.
Two mistakes dominate: hashing the body alone without the timestamp prefix, and hashing re-serialised JSON instead of the raw bytes. The secret is per notification destination and is shown once at creation. Paddle also recommends rejecting events whose timestamp is far from now to blunt replay. Confirm by recomputing the digest offline against a captured request. This scheme is Billing-only; Classic used an RSA public-key signature over serialised fields.
