When webhooks fail with Http404, provider dashboards show unreadable HTML. This change returns clean JSON with context for easier debugging. Changes: - Return JSON instead of raising Http404 for webhook errors - Add 'variant' field to all error responses - Add 'error_code' field for PaymentError responses - Remove token exposure from errors (security improvement) BREAKING CHANGE: Webhook endpoints now return JSON responses with status codes (400, 404) instead of raising Http404 exceptions. If you have custom code catching Http404 from webhook endpoints, update to handle JSON responses. Standard webhook systems (Stripe, PayPal) already expect JSON - no changes needed for normal usage.
