Do you mind moving those other messages here?
Is this related to the question in the other thread we had?
It seems different at a surface level
Where are you encountering the error with the request body?
Certainly the webhook delivery request should have a body

Im sorry
oh ok yea
Im trying to handle this checkout.session.completed event but i keep getting this error
Im imagining its that the webhook its not sending the request that the event happened to the endpoint
but its supposed to be

ok you seem to be mixing up the success page redirect and the webhook event
This looks like a handler for your success page, there you grab that session ID from the query params
red root
oh, so its supposed to be 2 different pages?
static forge
well webhooks are a "page" so to speak, its a server endpoint for our servers to deliver messages to
You'd get the webhook to some /webhooks endpoint, then separately the customer is redirected to /successpage

well, now its redirecting to the success page
but the /webhook page still has the same error

This is not a page you'd visit -- you need to set up a webhook endpoint to deliver events there, or use the Stripe CLI to test this
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/webhooks
Since its a locally running endpoint, the CLI is the best way to do this (there are other ways like ngrok)
red root
okok
im doin all that, but it doesnt seem to be working since i dont see no transfers happen in my dashboard
im imaging its the webhook but now i dont see errors
static forge
Are you seeing the webhooks arrive in the terminal following checkout?
And is your server receiving them?
Are you certain your code is reaching the transfer creation code path?
red root
No im not seeing nothing
No im not sure
Yes
static forge
Are you getting redirected to your success page after finishing checkout?
red root
yes
static forge
And what does the stripe cli show in the listen command output?
red root
yep
static forge
Can you share an example checkout session id?
red root
Can you share an example checkout session id?
like a new one or one that was completed alr
static forge
Is that on the stripe webpage, the CLI commands?
red root
yes
static forge
I think you'll need to run the CLI locally for your setup, because otherwise your server wouldnt be reachable
But it should show events
Can you copy one of those IDs for me?
red root
Yes

I'd suggest installing and running the CLI in your local terminal: https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-cli#install
