Hello

#

Yeah you are going to need logic in your Webhook handler to ingest this data correctly.

#

You will want to know whether it is the initial Invoice or a renewal Invoice

#

One way you can determine that is actually by looking at the billing_reason: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-billing_reason

I have a question does the webhook send the data to each event one by one or at once

#

I'm not sure what you mean by that exactly. A Webhook contains an Event as the data. A Webhook endpoint will receive a Webhook for every Event of the types that it is listening for.

I listen for the checkout.session.completed and invoice.paid

My problem is if the checkout.session.completed runs first before the invoice.paid

#

Or should I put the invoice.paid first so when it checks if the payment is not successful if goes to the next event type

#

We never guarantee ordering of Events (see: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks#event-ordering)

#

So you will always want to be resilient.

#

What you want to determine is which Event you are going to use to ingest the data into your database

#

Then you write code to filter the other Event so that you don't ingest it when you don't want it
