This is actually expected behavior. When receiving connect webhooks, we include a livemode property on the event that lets you know if the event is from test or live. Unfortunately it comes from a legacy behavior in our webhook so it can't be turned off

Got it. So if I'm constructing the event from the incoming webhook with:

$event = \Stripe\Webhook::constructEvent($payload, $sig_header, self::$stripe_whsec_connect);

I should be able to just do:

if($event->data->livemode === false) {

to filter out test mode events as such, right?

Exactly

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working - looks like it's throwing an exception before I can parse the event.

#

I'm not decoding the raw payload before passing it to constructEvent. Should I just do that, or try to handle this exception instead?

What is the exception that is being thrown? Checking after constructEvent should be the right way to do it

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught (Status 400) (Request req_snipped) No such payout: 'po_snipped'; a similar object exists in test mode, but a live mode key was used to make this request.
thrown in /www/snipped_387/public/assets/plugins/rpe-utilities/includes/stripe/lib/Exception/ApiErrorException.php on line 38

#

But I see now it's actually prepending "Stripe Notice: Undefined property of Stripe\StripeObject instance: livemode" to that.

Ah you should just be checking $event->livemode https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/object#event_object-livemode

Stripe API reference – The event object – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

The other exception is likely unrelated, that is coming from your app trying to retrieve a payout

Yeah, it's good now. It was just $event->livemode I needed. Now those will be filtered out and will return a 200 with:

{
"status": true,
"message": "Test mode event. Ignoring."
}

Test mode webhooks do actually receive test mode Connect events, right?

#

I have one set up for our staging site, this was the prod webhook.

#

Yes, test mode endpoints should only get test mode events. Live endpoints are the ones that receive both

#

Got it. I thought so, just sanity checking. Think I'm good now, thanks for your prompt help.
