Hi Everyone, We were working on webhooks but were occasionally receiving duplicate webhooks. What is the response waiting time for webhooks?
Yes, it’s possible that Shopify might send duplicate webhooks. This is unexpected but possible behavior.
If you want, you can use the X-Shopify-Event-Id header in the webhook request to differentiate between duplicate events:
However, I personally just make my subscribing webhook handler routes idempotent so I don’t have to worry about multiple redundant events.
Hi @kyle_liu and @Dylan, Thanks for the help. I also wanted to know the waiting time for a webhook sent from Shopify’s end. At our end, it might take 10 seconds or about 20 seconds to process and return a response as 200, because previously I saw in docs referring to waiting time as 5 seconds but could not find it in docs now.
you can save the webhook first and return it. The backend service of your application will then slowly process the saved messages.
The previous document is no longer available, but based on my webhook records, the conclusion is as follows: retry 8 times, with retry intervals of 1 second, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 22 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours.
