Yeah your scenario totally makes sense to me. Stripe have Live mode and Test mode, which you can use for Production and anything other including Staging respectively

void gulch Mar 14, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

Do you mean that when I create an endpoint like this in test mode, then the webhook endpoint is for test mode? And if I turn test mode off and create an endpoint, then the endpoint is for real production environment

green sky Mar 14, 2024, 2:14 AM

#

Yes correct

void gulch Mar 14, 2024, 2:16 AM

#

If I run staging to test on http://localhost:3000/ and my webhook listener is on http://localhost:3000/webhooks, what I need to do is to paste http://localhost:3000/webhooks to the Endpoint url, is that correct?

green sky Mar 14, 2024, 2:22 AM

#

No that's not correct because localhost is not public over the internet

#

You want to put to Stripe Dashboard public URL via some hosting provider

#

If you just want to test, you can use service like ngrok.io

void gulch Mar 14, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

ok that make sense

#

thanks a lot

#

and another way is to use CLI to test manually?

green sky Mar 14, 2024, 2:45 AM

#

Yes that's the purpose of the forward command

#

You can forward events to your localhost, the same machine that you runs CLI

void gulch Mar 14, 2024, 3:14 AM

#

Thanks. Can i get the customer ID from the webhook?

green sky Mar 14, 2024, 3:23 AM

#

depends on the event but generally yes

void gulch Mar 14, 2024, 3:24 AM

#

I think I get get it from the first case. If I am using a webhook to listen to the checkout session, and the user subscribes to a plan, then both 'customer.created' and 'customer.subscription.created' event will happen. How can I make the webhook handle both cases?

green sky Mar 14, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

It's totally up to you! You can decide to handle in one of these events

void gulch Mar 14, 2024, 3:34 AM

#

I mean handle multiple events. Will the stripe webhook send two events to me at the same time?

green sky Mar 14, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

Yes, it is the nature of webhook events. It's the Customer also created, and that Customer's Subscription also created at the same time

void gulch Mar 14, 2024, 4:15 AM

#

In this switch case, it seems that only one type of event will be handled at one time. How do handle both customer and customer's subscription at one time?

green sky Mar 14, 2024, 4:18 AM

#

No you can't. That's the nature of async event handling. You want to think of an async way of process both the event. ie. When you receive customer.created simply save to database, but when customer.subscription.created you can call an API to Retrieve the Customer (and make it retry with some ponential backoff strategy) until you get the customer
