Webhook events are sent to your backend. So you'd set the backend server URL

Hi Hanzo. it won't let me create an endpoint using localhost:5000
foggy wasp
do you mean you can't add it on the dashboard?
If so, I think that's expected.
You'd use Stripe CLI and forward the events to localhost

I disabled Microsoft Defender SmartScreen but my machine still won't run the CLI. Is there an alternative way to run this webhook?

Unfortunately, that's the only way to send webhooks to local listener
Otherwise, you'd need to host it using something like ngrok and then use the https URL it provides
