Stripe Webhook Endpoint Not Receiving Events
After Cursor refactored your Stripe webhook handler, webhook events are no longer being received or processed. Payments fail to process because webhook callbacks don't fire.
The webhook endpoint URL or handler logic was broken.
Error Messages You Might See
Webhook not received
Signature verification failed
Unprocessed payment
Webhook returned error
Common Causes
- Webhook handler route path changed, not matching Stripe config
- Signature verification removed, Stripe rejects requests
- Request body parsing changed (raw vs JSON)
- Handler not returning 200 status, Stripe retries
- Environment variables (webhook secret) not set
How to Fix It
Verify route: app.post('/stripe/webhook', ...). Verify signature: stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(body, sig, secret). Parse raw body for webhooks. Return 200: res.json({received: true}). Test with Stripe CLI: stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/stripe/webhook.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How do I test webhooks locally?
Use Stripe CLI: stripe listen, stripe trigger [event]. Forwards Stripe events to localhost for testing.
Why are webhooks retried?
If endpoint doesn't return 200, Stripe assumes failure. Always return 200 immediately, process async.
