Hello. How can we help?

[iron haven]

Hi sir,

1. I am creating a checkout.sessions.create for payment.
2. After that i am calling a webhook to listen the event's

I am trying to listen three events
checkout.session.completed and invoice.paid and invoice.failed

I am using console there to check but all the three are printing

And i check there are three different event ids

Do you have any idea why is this happening?

[inner hazel]

They are 3 distinct events, so they will have different event id's. This is expected

[iron haven]

Okay so for one payment all the three are printing.

[inner hazel]

Yeah

[iron haven]

FYI these three are inside the switch case

But all three are printing

[inner hazel]

What do you mean?

[iron haven]

Like if the invoice is paid then only invoice.paid case console should be printed

[inner hazel]

Well if you are set up to receive all 3 events, then your code will receive all 3 events

That should happen through 3 separate requests to your endpoint though

1 for each event

[iron haven]

Okay.

Basically i need webhook because i am using subscription.

So that's why i am using invoice.paid and invoice.paymemt_failed and checkout.session.completed

So what i want to do here is i want to update something in the UI so i have to call an api that i have created in the invoice.paid will that work?

[inner hazel]

What UI are you trying to update? There's nothing stopping you from calling an api in the webhook handler code

[iron haven]

It will update the credits
Like i have a button which will deduct 100$ from account and update the credit in my ui account

[inner hazel]

Yeah you can do that

Or you can just update your database in the webhook handler code

[iron haven]

Yes i will do that

But i am trying to call that api inside invoice.paid but api is not getting called

[inner hazel]

You'll need to debug why then

It's your code

[iron haven]

But when i try to call the api inside checkout.session.completed then api is getting called.

If i have monthly subscription then invoice.paid will be called every month right?

[inner hazel]

yep assuming the invoice was successfully paid

it could fail

[iron haven]

Yes and is there any way i can return something to the ui if invoice paid successfully or fail

[inner hazel]

Yeah change your db

And have the ui pull from your db via an api

[iron haven]

Sorry Change your db means

[inner hazel]

Write the data to your databse

[iron haven]

Okay means we directly can't return to ui

Even if have to return simple invoice paid successfully or invoice failed

[inner hazel]

What ui?

You said you were using checkout sessions

You could also rely on the success_url of the session to pass data

[iron haven]

Okay yes we are returning success url and cancel url

But for subscription they will not get called right?
Because payment will be automatically deducted

[inner hazel]

If they paid successfully on a checkout session for a subscription they'll still be redirected to success url

[iron haven]

No this will be gor the first time,
For second month payment will deduct automatically, user will not do anything
