Hi there. Creating a webhook endpoint means that you need to have an address somewhere that Stripe can send webhook events to, which are http requests, and that can respond to those requests. Typically that is the backend, or server, of a user's application. I believe there are services that will give you an endpiont to use for things like this, but I don't have specific knowledge about them.

#

So my first question is, do you have an endpoint that webhook events can be sent to?

#

By end point would this refer to a URL?

#

The devs of GeoDirctory have asked that i setup a webhook url - https://sleafordlocal.co.uk/index.php?wpi-listener=IPN&wpi-gateway=stripe

Okay, so then you would need to create a webhook endpoint in Stripe - I think the new docs call them "event destinations"

#

that is explained here: https://docs.stripe.com/webhooks

The problem we are having is that the website isn't reflecting updates of payments or subscription expiries. Stripe has ollected the subscription payment just fine but the website would say "Overdue" or if we end a subscription on the website the subscription isn't cancelled on Stripe so recurring payments are being taken

It depends a lot on what you want the webhook endpoint for - what information you need. I would have a good look at our reference on event types here: https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types

#

You can command+f for keywords like "Subscription", "Customer", "payment_intent"

OK thank you for your help. I will put that question to the developers of GeoDirectoey/GetPaid as I'm sure they will know what events need to be selected.
