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’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.
