Hey Hanzo 🙂

Hello
Webhooks are not directly related to payment process but more or so for automated order fullfilment process.
Webhook events let you know that something happened with your Stripe account (like you accepted a payment, a payment failed etc)
You can choose to handle it however you want.
For example - https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/fulfillment

Oh I see, so fo rexample without a webhook and a users pays but it fails, we wouldnt be able to see it in our dashboard?
For example, we can't see it in

You can see failed payments on your dashboard afaik but if you have your own system/database then webhook events are helpful to store/ingest that information
frail edge
Ah no we dont have our own databse and dont plan on doing so, does that mean its pretty much useless for us then?
Just trackign all transactions and paymetns on stripe dashbaord as of now

Gotcha. If you plan to automate order fulfillment for the product you're selling or asynchronously handle things when payments fail (like sending customers recovery emails etc) then you should listen to webhook events but it requires more engineering resouces/investment.
If you handle everything via Stripe dashboard then, you likely don't need a webhook endpoint
frail edge
Ah I see thank you very much!
like sending customers recovery emails etc)
Ah this requires us too store it in a database and create an API to send an email to them right? its not neccecarily related to stripe

sort of... We have a guide about it - https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/abandoned-carts?payment-ui=stripe-hosted
