I should add, that when I say "add webhooks", I'm talking about adding webhooks to a connected account, not our platform account — which I know we can add webhooks to programmatically.

Hi there! Just to make sure we're on the same page, are you a WooCommerce developer or are you using a WooCommerce plugin to integrate with Stripe?
Also, you wouldn't really create webhook endpoints on connected accounts directly. Instead, we recommend using a Connect webhook to listen for events that occur on your connected accounts: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/webhooks

Hello! 👋
I'm a developer — I've integrated with Stripe on a number of platforms, including WooCommerce. I'm not asking for WooCommerce support. 😉
So that solution works if you have a central server you're working from, such as when developing a SaaS. But WordPress (and thereby WooCommerce) is a distributed system. A customer downloads our plugin and then installs it on their server. As such, bottlenecking webhooks on a proxy server is not a good idea, as it makes it a critical point of failure. This is why, for years, we've had customers set up the webhook themselves for their site.
As a note, this capability is possible with PayPal, whom we also integrate with, which is great as it means the customer doesn't have to do any manual steps to get up and running with the gateway.

Thanks for the context! I can't assist with this feature here but our support team should be able to walk through your options as a platform. I recommend reaching out to our Support team about this: https://support.stripe.com/contact/
When you contact them, I recommend including the context you provided above and flagging that you'd like to be able to add/update/delete webhook endpoints on your connected accounts instead of creating a Connect webhook endpoint.

Got it. Ok, I appreciate it!
Are you able to confirm, per chance, that such a feature flag exists? I was told "someone from Stripe told me"... which sounds totally reliable. 😆

Other platforms have requested this before so this exists but requires additional review and is not something I can go into detail here
