How to Test Shopware Webhooks

Shopware webhooks notify your app integrations about order, customer, and product events from your storefront.

1. Shopware Webhook Events

Shopware can send the following webhook events to your endpoint:

checkout.order.placed
checkout.order.completed
checkout.customer.register
checkout.customer.login
product.written
order.payment.state_changed

2. Set Up a Test Endpoint with HookRay

Follow these steps to start receiving Shopware webhooks for testing:

  1. Go to HookRay and click "Start Testing — Free" to get your unique webhook URL.
  2. Copy the URL (e.g., https://h.hookray.com/abc123).
  3. In your Shopware dashboard, navigate to the webhook settings and paste the HookRay URL as your endpoint.
  4. Select the events you want to receive (see list above).
  5. Trigger a test event — HookRay will show the incoming webhook in real-time.

3. Sample Shopware Webhook Payload

Here's an example of what a Shopware webhook payload looks like:

payload.json
{
  "source": {
    "url": "https://my-shop.example.com",
    "appVersion": "1.0.0",
    "shopId": "abc123"
  },
  "data": {
    "payload": {
      "order": {
        "orderNumber": "10042",
        "amountTotal": 149.99,
        "currencyId": "b7d2554b0ce847cd82f3ac9bd1c0dfca",
        "orderCustomer": {
          "email": "buyer@example.com"
        }
      }
    },
    "event": "checkout.order.placed"
  }
}

4. Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Webhook not arriving?

Check that your endpoint URL is correct and publicly accessible. Shopware cannot reach localhost URLs — use HookRay's cloud URL instead.

Getting 400 or 500 errors?

HookRay accepts any payload and returns 200 OK by default, so the issue is likely on Shopware's side. Check your webhook configuration and event selection.

Need to verify webhook signatures?

Shopware signs webhook requests for security. Use HookRay to capture the raw headers and body, then implement signature verification in your application code.

5. Next Steps

  • Use HookRay's webhook replay feature to re-send captured webhooks while building your handler
  • Enable smart parsing (Pro plan) to see Shopware-specific fields highlighted automatically
  • Check the Shopware webhook documentation for the complete event reference
