It sounds like your server's endpoint isn't receiving the webhook, which could be caused by a lot of different things.

What command are you running to create the listener?

[fringe moon]

in terminal you mean?

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/webhook

Not surewhat I am doingwrong

[clear thunder]

And you're certain your route is configured properly? Can you open it in a browser and get something other than "Page not found"?

[fringe moon]

My route in express is like this stripeRoutes.post(
"localhost:5000/webhook",
bodyParser.raw({ type: "application/json" }),
(request, response) => {
console.log("recieved webhook req");
const payload = request.body;

console.log("got payload", payload);

response.status(200).end();

}
);

export default stripeRoutes;

i can't get it to console.log anything

[clear thunder]

yes, but what happens when you open localhost:5000/webhook in your browser while the server is running?

[fringe moon]

It directs to my 404 page

Hmmm, it sounds like that route might be misconfigured on your server. I'm not really sure what your code is doing to be honest. The Express routes I've seen look like this:

app.post('/webhook', async (req, res) => { "Do stuff here" res.send(); });

[fringe moon]

If i run this in index.js instead it still gives me the same result app.post(
"localhost:5000/webhook",
bodyParser.raw({ type: "application/json" }),
(request, response) => {
console.log("recieved webhook req");
const payload = request.body;

console.log("got payload", payload);

response.status(200).end();

}
);

[clear thunder]

I don't think you need to pass localhost:5000/webhook in your route. It should be just /webhook right?

[fringe moon]

yeah i did that before just like the docs said and it didnt work. another support person said to put localhost5000

wait nvm when i run it in app as wewbhook it runs fine now

[clear thunder]

Yep, that makes sense

[fringe moon]

Thanks I think i gotta reconfig my stripeRoutes
