Why is my product create webhook not returning a successful response on Shopify?

Technical Q&A
1

i got this email from shopify:

Your webhook for products/create at https://app.com/webhooks/orders/create is failing to return a successful response.

This webhook has been attempted 2 times. If your webhook continues to fail, it will be removed and your application will not receive any more notifications.

Im getting this message because Shopify is telling me they are not getting a 200 successful response after receiving the webhook

this is what my webhook looks like:

router.post('/webhooks/orders/create', webhook, (ctx) => {
        ctx.status  = 200
        ctx.body = {
       status: 'success',
       message: 'Successfully updated.'
     };
      console.log('received order webhook: ', ctx.state.webhook);
    ])

as you see i have both

ctx.status  = 200

and

ctx.body = {
       status: 'success',
       message: 'Successfully updated.'
     };

and they are telling me i am not sending a success response. Anybody know what i have to do here?

Hello,
I would recommend stress-test your endpoint. What happens is for the single event it might be working fine. But once Shopify sends enough webhooks your API might be breaking. If that’s the case try using event-bridge and lambda to safely process your webhooks. Let me know if you need further information.
