Steps
In the Ko-fi creator dashboard, set a single webhook URL under Settings > Webhooks
Ko-fi POSTs application/x-www-form-urlencoded to that URL with one field, data, containing a JSON string
Parse the JSON for type, from_name, amount, currency, email, is_subscription_payment, tier_name, message_id, and other transaction fields
Verify authenticity by comparing the payload's verification_token to the token shown on the same Webhooks settings page
Return HTTP 200 promptly and dedupe retried deliveries using message_id
Known gotchas
Ko-fi has no general REST API for pulling historical data — the webhook is the only integration surface, and it only fires on payment events, not on membership cancellation/end
verification_token is a plain shared-secret string comparison, not an HMAC signature
Only one webhook URL can be configured per account
