Hi đź‘‹
Do you see webhook events firing in your Dashboard logs?
If you do see webhook events, could you provide an ID? It will start with evt_
minor loom
Yes I do and I have succeeded event and here is the ID: evt_1OrRP7PWLTGdTSvhQJPzCMyN
graceful valve
Thanks! Taking a look
Okay this event occurred on an Express account. The only webhook endpoint that it was sent to is a Connect webhook endpoint.
minor loom
Yes correct
graceful valve
Okay so what is unexpected here?
minor loom
So what I am trying to achieve is that once a user creates an express account and has gone through the onboarding process to setup a payout. Upon successful creation of a connected account, my user is then directed to the app where the event is triggered and a view payout page is displayed. But currently, that is not happening I am not receiving the event on my app when the user returns from the stripe dashboard.
and this is only happening in live mode. I am able to receive webhook events in test mode. I am confused of the behavior in the testing local environment and production environment.
graceful valve
Okay so the endpoint listed in the event you shared with me is your endpoing, correct?
minor loom
yes it is
graceful valve
And for the event you shared, which is in Live mode, it was successfully delivered 6 times
minor loom
yes
graceful valve
In order to understand what might be going wrong I would need an example of a webhook event that was not successfully delivered.
minor loom
In the first webhook event that was not successful, I received HTTP status code : 404 because of the incorrect endpoint, and the second webhook I received HTTP status code : Timed out
graceful valve
Looking at those delivery failures, these all look like configuration issues for the server/code handling the webhook. The 404 and 400 responses are being sent by your server back to Stripe.
What was changed that resulted in the final event being delivered?
minor loom
I changed the endpoint in the webhook dashboard to match the endpoint in my code
graceful valve
Okay, so has that addressed the issue?
minor loom
I am having an issue where the successful webhook event is not being received in my app. I need the successful event to be sent to my app so that the database can be updated. Although the dashboard displays a successful event, I am not receiving it in my app.
which is only the case in live mode. in the testing local environment, I am able to receive stripe webhook events in my terminal and update the database correctly

I am having an issue where the successful webhook event is not being received in my app.
Do youy have an example of this? The only event you shared was successfully delieverd.
If you are referring to a front-end app, that is something your server side code would need to coordinate.
What you are describing in test mode is using the Stripe CLI and the stripe listen command. This is a utility used to help developers get started building webhook integrations but it isn't intended for production.
minor loom
So based on this code from stripe: ```app.post('/webhook', express.raw({type: 'application/json'}), (request, response) => {
const sig = request.headers['stripe-signature'];
let event;
try {
event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(request.body, sig, endpointSecret);
}
catch (err) {
response.status(400).send(Webhook Error: ${err.message});
}
// Handle the event
switch (event.type) {
case 'payment_intent.succeeded':
const paymentIntent = event.data.object;
console.log('PaymentIntent was successful!');
break;
case 'payment_method.attached':
const paymentMethod = event.data.object;
console.log('PaymentMethod was attached to a Customer!');
break;
// ... handle other event types
default:
console.log(Unhandled event type ${event.type});
}
// Return a response to acknowledge receipt of the event
response.json({received: true});
});```
this is only intended for building webhook integrations in local testing environment? If so how are webhook event triggers passed to an app in production? Is there documentation for that?
graceful valve
No, I'm sorry if I confused you. The above code will work in production but the Stripe CLI that you run in the terminal is only for testing
But if you use the above code you need to make certain that the webhook endpoint you register points to this function
minor loom
can I share my code here?
graceful valve
You already did, didn't you?
minor loom
no that is an example from the stripe but I have a code similar to it. I am just trying to debug why I am not receiving real-time event data to my application’s webhook endpoint in my terminal when I am not using stripe cli.
graceful valve
I'm sorry but you still haven't shown me any events that you did not receive so I am having trouble figuring out how to help you
minor loom
I am sorry I am confused as well. I just thought that when you have a successful event in the webhook dashboard and have registered webhook endpoints. Stripe would push real-time event data to my application’s webhook endpoint when events happen in your Stripe account.

The webhook endpoint you have set up is for Connected Accounts. It will only forward the account.updated event from your Connected Accounts.
If you wish to receive webhook events about your Stripe Acocunt, you will need to configure a different webhook endpoint that listens for events on your account.
minor loom
when i meant stripe account would that be the business stripe account where all my connected accounts are?
even if I don't have an endpoint for Stripe account and just have an endpoint for the connected account shouldn't Stripe still send real-time event data to my application?
minor loom
so to see the webhook data from the live mode do I need to create an endpoint for the platform account as well?
sterile snow
Depends on the event
If you want platform events you need a platform endpoint
Please read this doc: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/webhooks
It goes over the 2 types of webhook endpoints and explains the differences
