Stripe Webhook not firing when relevant events fire

I am trying to use the standard OpenSaaS implementation and have noticed that the stripe webhook does not fire at all even when the events are happening (I am testing it locally) - I've tried both just having it running and manually triggering the events and manually firing the events via the command line, but the stripe webhook doesn't run at all. I've added my STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET to my env variables.

Hi @CamBlackwood. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- It seems like you've done most of the necessary steps to set up the Stripe webhook. However, there are a few things you could check: 1. Stripe CLI: Make sure you have the Stripe CLI running when testing. You can follow the guide here (https://docs.opensaas.sh/guides/stripe-testing/). 2. Webhook Events: Ensure that your webhook is listening for the correct events. You can test if your webhook is listening for a specific event by running the following command in another terminal window:

stripe trigger <event-name>

stripe trigger <event-name>

Replace <event-name> with the name of the event you want to test, such as invoice.paid. 3. Webhook Endpoint: In your Stripe Dashboard, you can set the webhook endpoint to your server domain. It should look something like {your-fly-server-domain}/stripe-webhook. 4. Webhook Secret: When you deploy to a server like Fly.io, you need to change the webhook secret in the Stripe -> Dev -> Webhooks section. Create a new webhook by URL pointing to your server url/stripe-webhook endpoint, and then add the Webhook Secret found on the stripe dashboard to your .env settings. If you're still having issues, it might be helpful to check the OpenSaaS documentation (https://docs.opensaas.sh/guides/deploying/#setting-up-your-stripe-webhook) or ask for help in the Wasp Discord community (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1220115828012351529). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @CamBlackwood, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

@Vinny (@Wasp) one more thing 🙂

@miho sorry about all my questions in the last 24 hours 😅 I discovered a few issues simulateneously that have been a bit tricky, this one is weird as I can see the events firing off, yet the webhook itself doesn't fire locally, and I haven't changed the webhook at all from the standard implementation

Vinny (@Wasp)•3mo ago

weird did you create a new Stripe account/store? If so, you need to run stripe login again and log in with that new account. That will give you a new signing secret after you then run the webhook listener locally. also, another thing to check is the returned error message in the stripe dashboard last thing, we had someone testing a $0 product and that's a weird edge case where everything seems to succeed but some webhook events never fire. don't do this 🙂

I'm fully logged in and can access the stripe cli, I should say that actually the webhook is firing, but the webhook listener function is not firing src/server/webhooks/stripe.ts - this one - it is defined in the main.wasp like this -

api stripeWebhook {
  fn: import { stripeWebhook } from "@src/server/webhooks/stripe.js",
  entities: [User],
  middlewareConfigFn: import { stripeMiddlewareFn } from "@src/server/webhooks/stripe.js",
  httpRoute: (POST, "/stripe-webhook")
}

api stripeWebhook {
  fn: import { stripeWebhook } from "@src/server/webhooks/stripe.js",
  entities: [User],
  middlewareConfigFn: import { stripeMiddlewareFn } from "@src/server/webhooks/stripe.js",
  httpRoute: (POST, "/stripe-webhook")
}

I can see the correct events firing in there terminal where I ran stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3001/payments-webhook, but the api endpoint in the actual wasp app does not fire oh, should also say I have STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET set up

Vinny (@Wasp)•3mo ago

you're on an old version of Open SaaS you need to change the forward-to address stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3001/stripe-webhook not payments-webhook

CamBlackwoodOP•3mo ago

ahhhh that makes a lot of sense

Vinny (@Wasp)•3mo ago

I put a warning about it here but maybe it needs to be lower? https://docs.opensaas.sh/guides/payments-integration/#install-the-stripe-cli

I actually think maybe a different background colour would be best, I am colourblind so to be honest I would've struggled to spot the contrast there either way silly mistake from me, I thought it was a stripe endpoint of some kind rather than a wasp one 🤦‍♂️

Vinny (@Wasp)•3mo ago

hmm ok yeah then red/warning would be better than note

CamBlackwoodOP•3mo ago

your solution instantly worked btw, thanks Vinny yeah anything high contrast from the background is v useful for people with my type of colourblindness. Although I should've read it - maybe it's worth putting the sentence "make sure to use the url that matches the webhook url in your main.wasp file payemnts API definition." in bold?

Vinny (@Wasp)•3mo ago

good idea

CamBlackwoodOP•3mo ago

if you want I can make a version of it and raise a PR?

Vinny (@Wasp)•3mo ago

no need. i was actually just working on updating the docs https://github.com/wasp-lang/open-saas/pull/273
