hello @grim meteor! could you explain more on what you mean by the checkout will be successful but won't call the webhook? I don't really understand this portion

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 5:48 AM

#

Wait up

#

@twin lantern is my backend dev

#

He'll explain the problem

elder lantern hello <@!760776714728505354>! could you explain more on what you mean by the che...

We are using stripe webhook for triggering events in our backend I believe

#

So the checkout is successful

#

But then stripe won't trigger the event

#

It will if it's on test mode

#

But not on live mode

#

@twin lantern right?

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 6:05 AM

#

Yes, we are using stripe CLI on the server to trigger the events and complete the purchase after successfull checkout

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

can you share your account id? it'd look like acct_123

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 6:07 AM

#

Wait up

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 6:23 AM

#

@elder lantern

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 6:33 AM

#

looking at your account, you've setup several webhook endpoints

#

which one are you having trouble with specifically?

#

and what is the specific event that you're listening for but is not triggering in live mode?

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

@twin lantern

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 6:56 AM

#

I'm using this endpint :
app.post(
"/api/webhook",
bodyParser.raw({ type: "application/json" }),
async (request, response) => {

if (
payload.data.object.mode == "subscription" &&
payload.type === "checkout.session.completed"
) {
//do something
}

if (payload.type === "checkout.session.completed") {
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(
payload.data.object.id,
{
expand: ["line_items"],
}
);
//do something
}

}

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 6:56 AM

#

@elder lantern

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 6:57 AM

#

what about the endpoint url?

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 6:59 AM

#

sorry, which url?

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:01 AM

#

when you create a webhook endpoint, you need to provide a url for us to send the webhook to i.e. https://stripe.com/docs/api/webhook_endpoints/create#create_webhook_endpoint-url

#

if you login to this link : https://dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks, you can see all the webhook url(s) that you've setup to receive webhook events in production. Which one are you expecting to receive the checkout.session.completed event on?

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:05 AM

#

Okay, Wait up

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

https://dashboard.saucedproxies.com

#

https://saucedproxies.com

#

@elder lantern

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:33 AM

#

alright, for https://dashboard.saucedproxies.com/, your server is returning a 521 error, you would probably want to check on why your server isn't publicly accessible

#

attempting to access it through the browser is showing the same 521 error

#

for https://saucedproxies.com/, you haven't had a recent checkout session complete, so there're no webhooks attempted yet

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:37 AM

#

but for this https://saucedproxies.com/, how can I attempt webhooks for it.
I already have webhook setup for it in the code

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:39 AM

#

you can either complete a live checkout session i.e. finish paying for something, or you can use the Stripe CLI to trigger an event

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:40 AM

#

I already using the stripe CLI

#

running as a service in the background

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:40 AM

#

stripe trigger <event> --api-key=sk_live_1234
i think this might work

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:42 AM

#

How can I use this?
do you mean instead of this ?
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5002/api/webhook

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:46 AM

#

let me rephrase, why do you need to use the Stripe CLI to foward webhooks to https://saucedproxies.com/?

#

is it because this url is not publicly accessible?

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:46 AM

#

no it is live now

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 7:46 AM

#

elder lantern is it because this url is not publicly accessible?

both urls are publicly accessible

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:47 AM

#

okay, so for https://dashboard.saucedproxies.com/, if you access this link https://dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks/we_1Jd8y7EMiRIxVc48Y97N5dG3

#

#

you will see a resend button

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 7:48 AM

#

okay

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:48 AM

#

can you click on it and see if it's delivered successfully this time?

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 7:48 AM

#

#

it fails

#

📎 message.txt

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:52 AM

#

that's an error from your server, you're going to need to figure out why it's returning a 405 now

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:53 AM

#

I'm using this website https://saucedproxies.com/ for purchasing , it's backend running on port 5002 and I'm using this [stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5002/api/webhook] to trigger the events
for this https://dashboard.saucedproxies.com/ it is running on port 5000 I'm not using it for purchasing but both websites have webhook setup

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 7:53 AM

#

I think we are using wrong webhook

#

we should use saucedproxies one

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:54 AM

#

should I remove webhook setup from the dashboard becuse I'm not using it?

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:54 AM

#

if you're not using it, i'd suggest removing it to avoid any confusion

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 7:55 AM

#

okay I'll do this

#

After I do this, what should I do next?

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:03 AM

#

so your saucedproxies is currently returning a 405 error, you'll need to look into it to see why it's returning 405 : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/405

twin lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:10 AM

#

Now I removed webhook setup for dashboard and tested the purchasing in the test mode for saucedproxies and it is working so?

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 8:21 AM

#

@elder lantern

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:24 AM

#

you would probably wait for a checkout session in live mode, to make sure everything is working fine in production

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 8:24 AM

#

it doesn't

#

that's the problem

#

do I try again?

#

in live mode?

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:30 AM

#

what doesn't work in production? you'd need to provide more context like what is the error message for example?

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 8:35 AM

#

we get redirected to success page

#

but it should also trigger an event in backend

#

that dosen't happenm

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:36 AM

#

i don't see you doing anything in live mode

#

are you testing in test mode or in live mode?

#

you've setup the sauceproxies webhook url in live mode, if you're creating a Checkout Session in test mode - the event would naturally be created in test mode (and your sauceproxies webhook url wouldn't receive anything since it's in live mode)

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 8:38 AM

#

elder lantern are you testing in test mode or in live mode?

we are using live keys

#

what else is needed?

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:38 AM

#

https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs?method[]=post&method[]=delete&direction[]=connect_in&direction[]=self

#

i don't see any logs to create a Checkout Session in your live mode logs

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 8:39 AM

#

yeah because that's the fresh one, we had in past

#

like yesterday we had checkouts

#

money was recieved

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:40 AM

#

you just created your sauceproxies webhook url today

#

and your checkout sessions were done yesterday

#

so you won't have any checkout events delivered to your sauceproxies webhook url yet

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 8:40 AM

#

yeah that time we were using dashboard.stripeproxies.com webhook

#

and it wasn't working it

#

*either

#

so

#

@twin lantern deleted it few minutes ago

#

don't you see logs for that webhook either?

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:42 AM

#

i see the log to create the sauceproxies webhook

#

but like i mentioned, you need to have a new checkout created and completed for an event to be sent to that newly created webhook

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 8:43 AM

#

yes we are awar

#

*aware

#

but you should be able to see old logs too right?

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:43 AM

#

maybe you can explain more on what you want to do with the old logs?

grim meteor Oct 19, 2021, 8:44 AM

#

yesterday we bought stuff in live mode

#

and the payment came through

#

but event was probably not triggered

#

so can you see

#

if you can see any logs for successful payment and find the error causeD?

elder lantern Oct 19, 2021, 8:46 AM

#

the checkout.session.completed event was triggered yesterday, you can see one example here : https://dashboard.stripe.com/events/evt_1JmAMBEMiRIxVc48xzDqmVcf

#

the reason why you didn't receive it, was probably because delivery failed due to 521 error

#

if you login to that page, you can view all of the attempts

elder lantern Oct 20, 2021, 4:12 AM

#

heya @grim meteor! we can continue here

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 4:13 AM

#

just tried and got 405 error

📎 message.txt

elder lantern Oct 20, 2021, 4:16 AM

#

I can't really advise you on how to resolve a 405 error since it probably depends on some server configuration on your end. You can try searching online to see what possible reasons/solutions are causing this, some examples which i found which may help :

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

Hey

#

can you tellme

#

w

#

what type of request is that?

#

@elder lantern

elder lantern Oct 20, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

they're post requests

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 4:21 AM

#

okay

#

and what type of response does it need?

elder lantern Oct 20, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

200

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

I mean content type

elder lantern Oct 20, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

if you haven't seen this yet, it might be a good reference : https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/quickstart

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

I am not the dev for this

elder lantern Oct 20, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

it doesn't need any content type, all we really need is for your endpoint to return 2xx HTTP status code to Stripe.

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

got it

#

so in test mode, stripe doesn't make such post requests? @elder lantern

elder lantern Oct 20, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

Stripe sends webhook events in test mode, and they are also using POST. Have you checked if the event was sent using the Stripe Dashboard?

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 4:26 AM

#

in test mode?

#

nah

celest sparrow Oct 20, 2021, 5:26 PM

#

@grim meteor what do you need help with?

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 5:28 PM

#

hey

#

can you read the past convo

#

📎 message.txt

#

this is the status I get now

#

still it won't work

#

@celest sparrow

celest sparrow Oct 20, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

@grim meteor Can I ask you to provide more detailed inforamtion than a txt file dump? What is blocking you, what isn't working? That txt is just a client-side confirmation in Checkout

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 5:37 PM

#

grim meteor We are using stripe webhook for triggering events in our backend I believe

.

#

read from here

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

grim meteor But not on live mode

to here

celest sparrow Oct 20, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

Please, try to provide a detailed summary of what you need help with. There is a ton of backlog that is unclear (I tried to skim) and there are 14 other people asking questions right now

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 5:43 PM

#

So we are using stripe cli for webhook events to trigger a backend process on succesful checkout, after checkout we get success message (redirected by stripe) but the backend is not triggered, but this happens only in live mode, in test mode it works perfectly

celest sparrow Oct 20, 2021, 5:43 PM

#

Stripe CLI is purely for Test mode environments. So you likely are not using this in production right? Do you see the event sent to your webhook endpoint?

#

do you have an example event id?

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 5:43 PM

#

wait so you mean

#

stripe cli won't work for live mode in stripe?

#

@twin lantern

#

@celest sparrow

celest sparrow Oct 20, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

I don't really grasp why you'd use the CLI for live mode. In production you have a real server that is available publicly already, you configure your HTTPS endpoint where we send events directly

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 5:52 PM

#

i see

celest sparrow Oct 20, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

does that unblock you @stark salmon ?

#

sorry wrong auto-complete, damn you Discord

#

@grim meteor does that unblock you?

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

celest sparrow <@!760776714728505354> does that unblock you?

I am not the dev, I pinged the dev

#

he'll come in abit

twin lantern Oct 20, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

Hey

#

I'm using stripe CLI to trigger the events
In test mode it works perfectly

#

But in live mode it doesn't work

#

And the stripe cli is listening for the events

grim meteor Oct 20, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

@celest sparrow

celest sparrow Oct 20, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

you just @ me with the same exact question though

#

did you read what I said above? There's no reason to use the CLI in Live mode, so don't do that

twin lantern Oct 20, 2021, 6:11 PM

#

So what should I use to listen for the events

celest sparrow Oct 20, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

Webhooks are just HTTP requests to your server. They work the same as any parts of your web application already

#

It works the same as when you do a post or submit on your app in javascript. It's a "route" in your app that we hit directly since your server is publicly available
