What do you mean by this? You can access env variables in your code. The way in which you do this depends on your language. Not on Stripe.

Can you explain this paragraph on this issue?
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-cli/issues/871

When using stripe listen to forward webhook events locally, developers have to copy the webhook secret from the console into their application for verification. This is fine, but I think it would be interesting to add an additional option to this workflow.

[Suggestion] Set webhook secret to environment variable · Issue #87...

Problem When using stripe listen to forward webhook events locally, developers have to copy the webhook secret from the console into their application for verification. This is fine, but I think it...

#

will this webhook secret still work with an env variable set to that secret

#

yeah you would just have to set that environment variable after running stripe listen

#

I have the env variable set up but it is not working inside the stripe listen command. However it does work outside of this.

What do you mean by inside the stripe listen command? Can you share a screenshot. Not sure I understand

uncut canyon Jun 21, 2022, 2:33 PM

#

By inside, I mean - when the code is running inside the webhook triggered off by stripe listen forward-to....

#

def construct_webhook_event(request):

webhook_secret = os.environ.get('STRIPE_PRIVATE_WEBHOOK_KEY')
    
assert webhook_secret == 'whsec_9fdc4cfaa8fcc91bc3e777dffb279aaa016baba0db152aa16d05ab4d4fb55bd1'

 signature = request.headers.get("stripe-signature")
    return stripe.Webhook.construct_event(
        payload=request.body, sig_header=signature, secret=webhook_secret
    )

#

Here the assert failed when the above listen command is run. However it passes inside just running the function (outside of stripe)

Did you set the environment variable? You would have to manually do that part

Resolved - thanks it was an error in the env var.

#

Could you help me with something else? When sending through an payment_intent.succeeded on the cli, I seem to get two different succeeded events (and one created event)

<--  [500] POST http://certn-smb.ctf.sh:8080/webhook/stripe [evt_3LD8L5GCm62au2jT1aSfKN0J]

Why am I seeing two events here?

mortal cove Jun 21, 2022, 2:59 PM

#

One is paymentintent succeeded and the other is charge succeeded

#

They're 2 different objects

#

A PaymentIntent uses a charge underneath the hood

#

Oh okay, do they use different event types?
