Hello again. 🙂

hello again! 😄
I am once again asking for your assistance
I feel a bit dumb, but I think I just realized what the problem could be...
sharp fog
Of course! It looks like your only livemode webhook is a Connect webhook instead of an Account webhook; you'd need to add a live Account webhook in order to pick these events up.
Sorry, that was bad timing. I meant "of course I can help," not "of course you're dumb" - you're obviously not.
olive island
hahah no worries
I can be a bit dumb at times, that much is true 😂
I just realized this webhook is set up to listen to events from connected accounts only
and the only accounts that are connected accounts are my seller accounts
so it makes sense the webhook is not picking up checkout sessions from non-seller accounts
sharp fog
Yuppers. But if you're using Destination charges, those Events will be emitted on your Account webhook.

How can I create a new webhook that listens to events from any user, regardless if they are a connected account or not?
sharp fog
You can't, but you could use the same webhook endpoint URL for both if that makes sense for you.
i.e., you could have events sent to the same URL whether they're for your Account or for your Connected Accounts.
olive island
hmmmm. I'm not sure I understand, I'm sorry. I need users to be able to checkout whether they are connected accounts or not, so would I be able to do this with this webhook even though it seems to only listen to events from connected accounts?
And how come it's not possible to create a new webhook?
I should mention that when I was testing in development with a test key, this was working correctly. I guess it was only a "mock" webhook and not a real one. I might be a bit confused on how stripe webhooks work
sharp fog
Yes, because in testmode you have an Account webhook, but no Connect webhook.
In live you have a Connect webhook, but no Account webhook.

I'm reading stripe's docs and it sounds like webhooks can only listen to events if they are either from my own account or from a connected account, is that correct?
And if that is the case, is it even possible to be able to use webhooks to process checkouts from a user that does not have a stripe connected account?
Or is it possible that a webhook set to listen to events from my account would work to be able to let any user checkout?
sharp fog
It can listen to both, but you're likely to cause issues for yourself if they're literally the same event handler, unless it's set up to distinguish between the two types of events and route to the correct code.
You can only tell Stripe where to send Account events and where to send Connect events; they can be sent to the same place.
olive island
So I'm thinking of creating a new event destination within this webhook and setting it to listen to events from my account. It would have the same endpoint URL, do you think that could cause issues? Should I delete the endpoint that listens to events from connected accounts altogether?
So I created a new destination and tried it and it seems to work now
sharp fog
You may want to listen to some Connected Account events, but if it was completely working in testmode, then yes, what you're proposing is likely what you want to do.
You could check for the presence or absence of account on the Event payload: if it's there, it's a Connected Account event. If it's not, it's not.
olive island
Ok, I think I got it 🙂 I might need the connected accounts endpoint in the future for seller events, so I think I will keep both
thank you so much for all your help!
sharp fog
If the webhook endpoint's code isn't set up to deal with Connect stuff at all, then just remove the endpoint so you don't have to worry about it getting events it doesn't expect.
Also you're very welcome! 🙂
