Stripe Webhook Not Triggering on Replit
Stripe webhook events aren't received by your Replit app. Payment events aren't being processed, leaving orders in pending state.
Webhook delivery can fail for many reasons including endpoint accessibility and signature mismatches.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- Webhook endpoint not accessible from internet
- Replit app not running or crashing
- Webhook endpoint URL incorrect in Stripe Dashboard
- Signature verification rejecting valid webhooks
- Endpoint returning non-200 status code
How to Fix It
Verify webhook endpoint URL in Stripe Dashboard matches deployed URL. Use Stripe CLI locally to test: stripe listen --forward-to localhost:8080. Check app logs for webhook receipt. Ensure endpoint returns 200 OK immediately. Implement async processing (return 200, process in background). Use Stripe Webhook Testing tool in Dashboard.

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.
