Best Practices

1. Always verify webhooks - Validate the HMAC signature on every webhook
2. Use idempotency keys - Prevent duplicate transactions
3. Handle timeouts gracefully - Cryptocurrency transactions can take time
4. Log everything - Keep detailed logs for debugging and auditing
5. Test in sandbox first - Always test your integration before going live
