Hi there

#

If MemberPress is controlling your code then yeah it is an issue with their server

#

The 401 is their server's response to the Webhook that we send.

#

So the error is coming directly from their server

ornate rover Dec 20, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

MemberPress is a plugin on my WordPress site

#

And I'm seeing the 401 error in my Stripe Webook portal

#

Everything else in my test payments looks good... but all these requests have 401. I'm confused because the payments seem to "Succeed" via my Stripe home, but when I go into the Webhook page I see all my requests are returning 401

fierce briar Dec 20, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

Yep that is because MemberPress is returning a 401

#

So you need to talk to them about that

ornate rover Dec 20, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

Alright, will do

#

and just want to make sure i'm underestanding correctly

#

These webhook details are essentially when Stripe says "Hey, we've noticed a subscription / payment / etc. has been created, let's go let MemberPress know about that." So they send a request to my WordPress site, and are getting a 401 response from my WP site saying "Hey Stripe, you're not authorized to make requests to this site!"

fierce briar Dec 20, 2023, 5:56 PM

#

Yep pretty much

#

Really the request we send is to your backend

#

Which is controlled by MemberPress

#

So not technically your "site" but same idea, yeah.

#

What is the specific error that is being returned in the 401?

ornate rover Dec 20, 2023, 5:57 PM

#

I'm using Stripe Elements, and so that's because essentialyl Stripe is getting embedded into my site, and needs to let my backend know somethign happened? (Thru the webhook)

fierce briar Dec 20, 2023, 5:57 PM

#

Yep

ornate rover Dec 20, 2023, 5:58 PM

#

All I'm seeing is "401 Authorization Required"

fierce briar Dec 20, 2023, 5:58 PM

#

Gotcha okay yeah that is coming directly from the code that MemberPress has hosted in order to receive these Webhooks

#

So we send the Webhook to their endpoint (the one you specified in your Stripe Dashboard) and then in their code hosted at that endpoint they hit an error and respond to our request with that 401 and send us that error message.

#

So really the only people who can debug why the error is occurring is Memberpress

ornate rover Dec 20, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

"So we send the Webhook to their endpoint (the one you specified in your Stripe Dashboard)" where is this declared?

fierce briar Dec 20, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

https://dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks

#

The plugin likely had you set that up with a specific URL

#

That is how we know where to send these Webhooks

ornate rover Dec 20, 2023, 6:01 PM

#

Yeah it auto-set one

#

okay, will proceed with troubleshooting with MP

#

thank you for your help!

fierce briar Dec 20, 2023, 6:01 PM

#

Ah yeah actually that makes more sense

#

They used the API to set that up for you

#

Yep, good luck!
