So are you suggesting that we update docs to encourage users to do that? We use signing secrets to sign the payload so users know the request from us is authentic, but other than that I can't think of how we'd control what users send us aside from just rejecting anything that "looks" like an object ;)

I do like the idea of including a little chunk in our SDK (Coming soon!) to allow them to easily encrypt/decrypt their payload, but that'd be entirely on them to follow that practice.

Defaults matter. Make the api client encrypt everything it sends to you, so you never handle unencrypted customer data.

Oh for sure, I just haven't thought of a way to enforce that the payload be encrypted because there are so many different methods to do that and most of them still result in a string...

Do you have any advice or suggestions for how to enforce that?

I'll definitely add some docs to encourage it though; thanks for the suggestion!
