Your webhook endpoint returned 404 , and the response body says Cannot POST /api/v1/stripe/webhook
Can you check you webhook endpoint and make sure it accepts POST requests to /api/v1/stripe/webhook ?
pearl flame
it can accept post requests to that route. If I switch to the unverified (for instance using just the req.body.type example instead of using the stripe signatures) I get a 200 response. That's why I'm pretty sure the issue is with the event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent function especially since when I try to console log the event.type it doesn't happen
vocal halo
That's different from what I saw in event log. Or is there a different event ID that I should take a look at ?
pearl flame
here's the start of the webhook function:
exports.webhook = asyncHandler(async (req, res, next)=> {
console.log('Webhook started');
const sig = req.headers['stripe-signature'];
console.log(stripe signature: ${sig});
// console.log(req.body.type);
let event;
try {
console.log('constructing stripe webhook event');
console.log(req.body);
//Verify the stripe secret key and stripe webhook secret key as well as jwt
event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(req.body, sig, endpointSecret);
console.log(event type ${event.type});
} catch (err) {
res.status(400).send(Webhook Error: ${err.message});
return;
}
// // const event = req.body.type;
// const event = req.body;
// Handle the event
switch (event.type) {
the console.log up to the one before event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent work, so my server is getting the post request
it's just not constructing your event

OK, did you sepcify the correct webhook secret? i.e., the one from your Dashboard, not the one from Stripe CLI.
pearl flame
so I just watched your youtube node starter and I'm pretty sure he used the cli one... but switching to the one from my dashboard didn't change anything at least from what I can see
vocal halo
I believe the video is about setting up a local webhook listener and that's why the local webhook secret is used.
Can you share with me the latest webhook event ID after the change?
pearl flame
I'm working on my local host right now
evt_3P8GsGKyc5KZ78km1uOyiHTK
I'm using flutter_stripe so it might be that one of the url's throughout might be pointing to my end client instead of my local host...
but is there any way to check if you received that event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent request that I sent out?
vocal halo
Signature verification is impossible without access to the original signed material.
Learn more about webhook signing and explore webhook integration examples for various frameworks at https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node#webhook-signing
I have to go and I'll be back in 30 minutes
vocal halo
This is the response from your local webhook endpoint.
pearl flame
ok I can throw in the body parser thing and try that
is there somewhere I can see that response?
vocal halo
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events/evt_3P8GsGKyc5KZ78km1uOyiHTK you can see from Dashboard
pearl flame
I don't see that error message anywhere.... I'm new to using the dashboard so
vocal halo
You need to expand it
pearl flame
oh I found it
I expanded everything else but that 🙂
thanks the biggest thing is to find where I can find the error messages 🙂
have a great day! I should be able to work this out from here I think
thanks!
