Hey Im back. So just to clarify. I need to make a link that will host the payout webhook that I then put on my Dashboard so Stripe knows who to talk to.
timid crystal
Yep
rigid cape
then when there is a change in a payout, stripe knows to hit my endpoint and let me know. Which means I dont need to code in any pinging or setInterval code to constantly check.
timid crystal
Correct
Whenever an Event is created it will get sent to your endpoint if your Webhook endpoint is set up to listen for that Event type
rigid cape
ok thanks. Gonna investigate some more. Question. Are you guys Stripe devs and they make you guys both code and answer questions or how does that work?
timid crystal
Yes we are Stripe Engineers and part of our job is to support developers!
rigid cape
Oh nice. So here is a question that came up. What approach should I take if rather than listen for the Event, I can just ping Stripe's endpoint to see the status of everything.
I am trying to come up with a way to view the payloads at once so I can configure my code to properly deal with it and I feel like leaving the webhook there, I wont be able to actively do anything unless an event changes.
timid crystal
Not exactly sure what you mean by that... what are you trying to accomplish here exactly?
rigid cape
I am building my webhook to store the payout status whenever Stripe talks to me about a change event.
but to build this, I need to actively receive a payload from the endpoint so I know how to write this code.
How can I do this without relying on the hook to wake up.
timid crystal
The endpoint doesn't "wake up"
It is hosted at all times
And then receives the Events whenever they are sent
And then you run whatever logic you want on your end when that endpoint is hit.
Using a Webhook is the correct way to handle things here.
rigid cape
Just trying to determine how do I rapidly test what I built in the hook as correct?
Like that immediate feedback loop to test your code.
timid crystal
You can use the CLI to test
timid crystal
Yep was jsut grabbing docs
You can run triggers using the CLI like stripe trigger payout.created --stripe-account acct_1223
That will automatically generate Events on your Connected Account so you can test your Webhook endpoint
Otherwise you can just use normal API requests to test.
This is a little bit harder with Payouts since you can't really test an automatic payout without waiting a day for it to be sent
But you can still test Payouts using manual payouts

Alright thanks, I will keep on playing with this.
