Webhook helpers in stripe-node

[@JR-lo2ei]

Thanks for the step-by-step guide! I feel more confident implementing the hooks I need to finally integrate Stripe payments.

This was a big help. Showed what a raw buffer log looks like, so I could debug. Thanks.

bodyParser is now deprecated! Stripe - you should know better!

[@nicolasgomez5207]

stripe is awesome on the surface, then sucks in the inside once u read the docs

[@mscholzdev]

just import it like in the video, but do not install body-parser, it will take the body-parser from express.

Absolutely fantastic, thank you! Subscribed!

From cli everything works as expected. But, how can we trigger event from frontend react app. When I make request to my webhook endpoint, the request body is empty, so I can't get event object and signature.

[@StripeDev]

If you're trying to send events to your webhook endpoint yourself instead of Stripe sending them, you should make requests to Stripe that then generate the events that Stripe sends to their webhook endpoint. If this is for testing purposes, you should look at the Stripe CLI events and "mock" them in your code and send those to their webhook endpoint. If we haven't provided an adequate solution here, please send us a message at [e-mail] explaining what you're trying to do in more detail and send us an event id so we can investigate. Thank you!

The webhook secret works on local machine but when I add the endpoint it does not work.

Hello Stripe users/learners. I have a question. I have successfully tested checkout operations and webhook, listening to my port. However, when I log in with different user accounts, I still get the same user info in the response object from webhook event. Plus, I havent created customers. I want to use this response object from the webhook. to store transaction details in Mongodb. Can anyone offer me a road map?

Unable to extract timestamp and signatures from header: I am getting this error. Anyone can help? I applied the same code as in the video

[@StripeDev]

Hi there. Can you please confirm if you are checking for the signature in HTTP_STRIPE_SIGNATURE header? The correct header name to look is stripe-signature.

[@canklc5772]

@@StripeDev Yes Sir... I figured it out. "app.use(express.json());" This line was causing the problem. Now it works. Thanks for your support and the amazing tutorial.

[@StripeDev]

Great news! Happy we could help.

I keep getting this error: Webhook Error: Unable to extract timestamp and signatures from header. Any ideas on how to fix that?

[@StripeDev]

Hey there-this error means that your code is not properly accessing this information. We'd recommend checking out this documentation to help solve this: stripe.com/docs/webhooks/signatures#verify-official-libraries.

can African countries use stripe?

[@reprovedcandy]

Getting a 400 everytime. Why is my endpoint secret not working? I followed every instruction exactly...

[@StripeDev]

Hey there-are you getting any other errors along with the 400?

[@reprovedcandy]

@@StripeDev Hey Stripe, thanks for the quick response. Fortunately, I figured out the issue and have resolved it. It was that the app.use json parser was above /webhook and was messing up the raw body contents.

[@StripeDev]

Great to hear you got it figured out!

[@mampakha185]

No signatures found matching the expected signature for payload. Are you passing the raw request body you received from Stripe? receiving this error on stripe trigger customer.created

[@fxstreamer238]

what happened to respond quickly after signature verification with 2xx before doing stuff with events ? I guess you have no clue. next time do whats necessary

[@AAquaticAApe]

42nd like and first comment!! Must be my lucky day!... Great video!

[@sahaneakanayaka3394]

Man this helped a lot thank you really, struggled lot with that signature payload really by parsing it 🥲🥲
