Webhook Payload Formatter example
Stripe payment_intent.succeeded
Input:
{"id":"evt_1PZx…","type":"payment_intent.succeeded","created":1725184800,"data":{"object":{"amount":19900,"currency":"sar","status":"succeeded"}}}Output:
Provider: Stripe · Event: payment_intent.succeeded · Event id: evt_1PZx…
$.data.object.amount amount 19900 199.00 if the value is in minor units
$.created timestamp 1725184800 → 2024-09-01T10:40:00.000Z (about a year ago)Frequently asked questions about Webhook Payload Formatter
What gets highlighted?
Event types, ids, statuses, amounts (with a minor-units hint), currencies, timestamps (converted to ISO 8601 and relative time), emails, names, references and URLs. Secret-looking values are masked in the table.
Can it handle form-encoded webhooks?
Yes — Twilio-style application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies are decoded into JSON before formatting.
Does it detect the provider from the body alone?
Often: Stripe events, GitHub payloads, GitLab, PayPal, Slack, Shopify and Twilio have recognisable shapes. Adding the request headers makes detection reliable.
Is my payload uploaded?
No — formatting and detection run locally in your browser.
