Card updater webhook payload examples

Inspect the documented JSON payloads for card updater notifications.

Gateway signature and delivery

Verify Webhook-Signature with your gateway signing key before parsing the body. This family signs nonce + a period + the original body. It is separate from Sign-Up subscriptions. Gateway webhook verification
