Yes, if you're testing locally you should be able to use a localhost URL

#

Definitely try it out and make sure it works

#

whats the whole ngrok thing

#

ok will try and see

#

i see this: Stripe's servers won't be able to reach your localhost for webhook events

desert finch Sep 8, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

Can you show me a screenshot of where you see that? Is that in the dashboard? or our docs?

#

just gpt

desert finch Sep 8, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

Gotcha

#

So what gpt is saying is true - you can't have a localhost URL for webhook events, but that is entirely unrelated to the return/redirect URL after completing payment with the pricing table

#

yeah so when i test the app locally, and it has the embedded pricing table, it should interact with the stripe account? or do I have to test/build/develop with stripe cli and not use the embeddable tables ?

#

im primarily using a webhook

#

If you create a pricing table through the dashboard and add it to your site while testing it should just work. If you want to listen for webhook events on top of that, then you'd ALSO use the CLI to listen for those events (with stripe listen) and it should all work together

#

ok so ngrok is kind of useless when theres the stripe cli

desert finch Sep 8, 2023, 5:41 PM

#

It's not completely useless - if you want to move off of testing with the CLI it's really helpful

analog finch Sep 8, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

ok so use it to test the webhook locally

#

ok thanks
