Hi!
I have some doubts about the webhooks. I am implementing a subscription service and I have a webhooks listening the following events:
customer.subscription.created
customer.subscription.updated
customer.subscription.deleted
invoice.paid
But I am having some problems because when I receive the customer.subscription.created I save in my db some information
But in some cases I receive the invoice.paid or the customer.subscription.updated but I don’t have yet the subscription in my database

Hi, can you share an example of this instance? You can share the event id here with me which starts with evt_.

But the subscription exists in Stripe

I can't comment on how you set you your database, but I can look clarify when events are triggerred and the timeline to help look with you

Is only a problem with the webhooks because they are asynchronous
The timeline is
- Customer.subscription.created
- Customer.subscription.updated
- Invoice.paid

That is right, and the ordering of webhook events is not guaranteed, https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks#event-ordering

That’s the problem
Because in some cases I will try to update a subscription that I don’t have yet in my database

You need to handle this gracefully on your end as the ordering of events is not guaranteed.
