Hi
Not sure I understand your question 100%. Can you share an example ?

#

for example , when using stripe elements in react, there is a redirect_url that it sends the user to. Upon reaching that URL, why not just send an API request to yourself "confirming" that payment and handling any business logic associated with it?

A webhook does the same thing but it's sent via stripe

#

just was curious if there is any specific reason to defer to webhooks for something like this

Thanks for these details. Webhook are more reliable... For example, webhooks supports retries while when using just return_url and there was a network issue on the client side, then your integration will miss that and you can't reply it later.
