Hi 👋

No this isn't possible. Your integration should always return a successful response once you verify the request is a valid Stripe webhook event. That would reduce these retries. Webhook responses should not be used to indicate success or failure of your integration processes, only successful receipt of the webhook object.

Thanks for the prompt reply! Does it mean that to stop those retries we will always have to return a successful response? Otherwise the failed ones will always be resent? 🤔 Does it stop retrying after certain time?

#

It will retry 5 times in a live environment, 3 times in test with an exponential back-off in terms of timing

#

But returning a 200 response will stop all retries

I see, thank you so much!

Happy to help 🙂 It can be a bit confusing what exactly a webhook response should be so I'm glad we could clarify
