1. Debugging Stripe Payment Webhooks
Backend DeveloperBackground
Integrating Stripe subscriptions requires handling various webhook events, but testing them directly against a local server is difficult without exposing a public URL.
Problem
Need to capture invoice payment events, verify their Stripe signatures, and manually replay them to a local development server.
How to use
Set the Relay Target URL to your local endpoint, enter your Stripe webhook secret, set the Signature Header to stripe-signature, and filter for bodies containing the invoice.paid event type.
Relay Target URL: https://api.example.com/webhooks/stripe
Signature Secret: whsec_test_123
Signature Header: stripe-signature
Method Filter: POST
Body Must Contain: "type":"invoice.paid"Outcome
The dashboard captures only paid invoice events, verifies the Stripe signature, and allows manual replay to the local API for safe testing.
