Hi 👋

Hello!

#

As far as I know the paymentIntent API is vastly superior to the Charges API

#

I think I understand all the auth and impodetency benefits as well as the requirement for stripe connect..part of our hesitation is the new set up requirements to listen in on webhooks on all of our local machines...is there a straightforward way to implement webhooks on all of our dev machines when we run our app locally?

Okay great

#

You know about all the benefits. I'm assuming you are familiar with the Stripe CLI?

#

Or, let me rephrase, you've got it installed?

raven geyser Dec 13, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

i've never actually used the stripe cli 😬

#

Okay well it's a pretty darn nifty tool for developers.

#

You can mock tons of events, trigger webhooks, test out all kinds of stuff

#

And one of the cool features is, you can spin up local webhook listeners

Stripe CLI reference – Listen for events

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe CLI.

#

I've got this running on my local machine right now so I can see a streaming log of webhook events as I test out different integrations

#

ohhhhh wow. i've been doing way harder things like ngrok and tunnelign

#

🤦‍♂️ okay. i will explore stripe cli. thank you!

Those tools are useful to and sometimes you'll likely need them but being able to just invoke a test charge from the command line is pretty sweet
