Stripe Webhooks - The Ultimate Guide

In this video, I go step by step on how you can use Stripe webhooks in a React.js/Next.js application.
Stripe webhooks listen to events in your Stripe account and allow you to trigger functions when a specific event is triggered.
You can test out the Stripe webhook in your development server with the Stripe CLI.
After watching this video, you should be able to successfully setup Stripe webhooks and test them out locally and in production as well.

Great tutorial! Exactly what I needed. Much appreciated!

No problem and thanks for the support!

Great tutorial! I'm all set for when a checkout is complete for a subscription, but struggling a bit with the invoice.paid event when the subscription auto renews. Do you know if there will be a session.subscription property in the same way that it's there for checkout.session.complete event? I'm using the current_period_end timestamp to set the expiration date on checkout complete, want to do the same thing when invoice.paid fires. Any help would be appreciated 🙏

will i have to create different webhooks for each different services like for payment a different webhook and for a subscription model a different webhook or can we use one webhook for multiple services

[@brettwestwooddeveloper]

Thanks for watching! And no you will create one route.ts file and you will define all the event types in one file. So, its the same webhook, only create one webhook
