Hey! So your webhook endpoint won't be reachable at a web address?

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:39 AM

#

Hey! Our webhook endpoint is reachable, what I'm missing is the Stripe CLI part

#

I have a /webhook API where the CLI currently forwards the events to

#

looks like this, rest of the code is redacted because business logic

#

Ah ok. Yeah so you'll need to create a live webhook in your Dashboard: https://dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:41 AM

#

What I did in dev environment for testing was firing up the stripe cli, logging into my account and doing stripe listen --forward-to url

#

You can set that webhook to send events to the deployed address of the handler (whatever that is on AWS)

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:42 AM

#

so if my webhook API is https://domain.com/payments/webhook I point it to that address, correct?

subtle prairie Nov 16, 2021, 9:42 AM

#

Yep, exactly!

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:42 AM

#

This is what I want to do?

subtle prairie Nov 16, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

Note that the webhook signing secret will change from the CLI value, so be sure to update your environment variables in your project

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

yeah, sure!

#

Do I need to select specific events I want to listen for, or will it default to everything?

subtle prairie Nov 16, 2021, 9:44 AM

#

You'll need to select events, or you can select them all

#

I'd recommend only listening for the ones you need

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:45 AM

#

All I need to do in my code to move to the live webhook is replacing the secret, right?

subtle prairie Nov 16, 2021, 9:45 AM

#

Otherwise your function will be getting invoked a lot

subtle prairie Nov 16, 2021, 9:45 AM

#

fathom schooner All I need to do in my code to move to the live webhook is replacing the secret,...

Yep, should be. If it was working with the CLI then it should be seamless

#

CLI such a valuable tool for this

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

All the events I am not listening to won't be rejected at a Stripe level, right?

#

Like, if I do not listen for customer.create events on my webhook they will still be executed fine

subtle prairie Nov 16, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

All those events you aren't listening to will still exist in your account logs, they just won't be sent to the webhook

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:47 AM

#

That's very clear! Thanks for the help!

subtle prairie Nov 16, 2021, 9:47 AM

#

Np!

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:47 AM

#

I'm also learning more about how many useful events stripe has through this haha

subtle prairie Nov 16, 2021, 9:47 AM

#

Pretty much an event for everything 🤯

fathom schooner Nov 16, 2021, 9:49 AM

#

It is fixed and it now works without the CLI! Thank you very much

subtle prairie Nov 16, 2021, 9:50 AM

#

Awesome!
