hi! what does the complete code of your webhook endpoint look like?

also the error message should link to the stripe-node repository which has some working examples + more info

[tranquil grove]

I already have the webhook secret in my env

[vivid fossil]

yeah you're using Express so look at
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/tree/master/examples/webhook-signing
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/examples/webhook-signing/express/main.ts
which shows to use exempt the webhook route from JSON parsing

[tranquil grove]

the code is pretty much similar

I have just created a controller and mapped to a route

router.post("/api/webhook", stripeWebhookController)

[vivid fossil]

yeah but look specifically at the docs and example about using a raw parser, that is the important part. https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/examples/webhook-signing/express/main.ts#L16-L34

[tranquil grove]

in app.ts
I have used
app.use(express.json());

that should've worked right?

[vivid fossil]

no.

please check the code shared. You want to not use express.json for the webhook route, that is what the code is doing

[tranquil grove]

oh

ok

thanks

lemme try it

{
"error": "Webhook Error: No webhook payload was provided."
}

[vivid fossil]

I'd need to see your complete code again to say anything

[tranquil grove]

app.ts

postRoutes.ts

[vivid fossil]

isn't your definition missing the middleware for the raw body?
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/examples/webhook-signing/express/main.ts#L33-L34

and what is stripeWebhookController

[tranquil grove]

I am adding

[tranquil grove]

it's the webhook function that I shared

This one

[vivid fossil]

then the issue is probably missing the middleware as I described

[tranquil grove]

checking

[vivid fossil]

I'd also suggest just using the exact sample we provide, confirming that works for receiving the webhook, and then slowly integrate it with the rest of your code

[tranquil grove]

oh

oka

I will definitely use the same code snippet

hey

it worked

thanks

I have another question if we can do in this thread

as I said, I will have a rideshare app where users can select the drivers. so the driver is also doing business and the company is also doing business. We want to automate payment process. The driver will need to connect their stripe account on the site.

The driver needs to pay 15%, but the payment is going to company's account now from the checkout, so is it possible that the rest 85% goes to the driver's stripe account automatically

[vivid fossil]

sure, you can collect fees/split funds with Connect e.g. https://docs.stripe.com/connect/destination-charges?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted#collect-fees

[tranquil grove]

suppose if the ride costs 100$ and the 15% which is 15$ needs to be in the

payment_intent_data: {
    application_fee_amount: 1500,
    transfer_data: {
      destination: '{{CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
    },
  },

Over here? in the application_fee_amount?

[vivid fossil]

you'd write code to determine what amount the platform should keep, and you pass that amount as application_fee_amount yes
