Fix Shopify Embedded App HMAC

Job ID: 40449375

Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR

I’m down to the very last hurdle on a public Shopify dropshipping app I’ve built: the embedded-app verification fails whenever an order-sync call hits our backend. The request reaches us, but HMAC validation throws an “Authentication error.”

Here’s what I know so far:
• The failure appears only while syncing orders from Shopify Admin—install flow and every other endpoint work fine.
• I’ve triple-checked the shared secret, stepped through the signing logic, and hammered it with sample payloads, so the usual suspects look good.

What I need is an expert who has already wrestled with Shopify’s embedded-app security model and can pinpoint why the computed digest diverges, update the signing/verification code, and prove that every order webhook or Admin API call passes the check reliably. A short hand-over note outlining the change is all the documentation I’ll ask for.

Deliverable
– A patched app (or pull request) where order-sync requests clear Shopify’s HMAC verification, letting the embedded app load without errors.

If you’ve solved this exact headache before, let’s wrap it up quickly.
