Stripe Problem! Everything works on dev, but not on prod
Classic, everything works on my end but not on prod.
I highly suggest everyone to make a 100% coupon before your customers complain!
When running on dev with the stripe webhook everything is fine and dandy.
When running on prod with stripe and fly, I get 200s and delivered.
They thing I don't understand is that I've updated the webhook.ts to give these logs so I can debug and understand them
console.log('Processing customer.subscription.updated:', {
subscriptionId: updatedSubscription.id,
customerId: updatedSubscription.customer,
status: updatedSubscription.status,
cancelAtPeriodEnd: updatedSubscription.cancel_at_period_end
});
on dev I see the logs with the stripe webhook running
on prod (on flys server) I don't see them! Is that the clue?
Anyone had such an issue?

Hi @AAA. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
It seems you're experiencing issues with Stripe webhooks in your production environment on Fly.io, while everything works fine in development. This is a common challenge when deploying Wasp applications with Stripe integration. Let's go through some potential solutions and debugging steps based on the information provided in the knowledge sources.
1. Webhook Configuration:
Make sure you've properly set up your Stripe webhook for the production environment. As mentioned in the Discord support thread, 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
- Add the Webhook Secret found on the Stripe dashboard to your .env settings on Fly.io
2. Stripe CLI and Webhook Forwarding:
In development, you're likely using the Stripe CLI to forward webhooks to your local environment. In production, this setup is different. Make sure you've updated your Stripe Dashboard to point to your production URL. The webhook endpoint should look like:
{your-fly-server-domain}/stripe-webhook
3. Environment Variables:
Ensure that all necessary environment variables, especially the Stripe-related ones, are properly set in your Fly.io environment. You can refer to the Wasp documentation on environment variables for guidance on how to set these up correctly.
4. Logging and Debugging:
The fact that you're not seeing your custom logs in the Fly.io server logs is indeed a clue. This could indicate that the webhook endpoint is not being hit, or there's an error occurring before your logging statements. Here are some steps to debug:
- Check the Fly.io server logs for any error messages or warnings.
- Verify that your webhook endpoint is correctly defined and accessible.
- Use Fly.io's logging features to ensure you're capturing all relevant logs.
5. Stripe API Version:
Make sure you're using the same Stripe API version in both development and production. A mismatch in API versions can cause unexpected behavior.
6. Testing Webhooks:
As suggested in the Discord support thread on Stripe integration debugging, follow the guide on Stripe webhook testing in the Open SaaS documentation. This can help you verify if your webhook is correctly set up and receiving events.
7. Error Handling:
Improve error handling in your webhook processing code to catch and log any potential errors. This can help identify issues that might be occurring before your custom logging statements.
If you're still unable to resolve the issue after checking these points, you may need to dive deeper into your server logs on Fly.io and possibly reach out to Stripe support to verify that webhooks are being sent correctly to your production endpoint.
Remember, as suggested, having a 100% coupon ready for testing can be helpful to avoid customer complaints while you're debugging these production issues.

Sorry @AAA, 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?@kapa.ai If I am getting 200s and delivered on my stripe webhook then I think both are configured correctly or?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information you've provided, if you're receiving 200 status codes and "delivered" messages for your Stripe webhooks in production, it generally indicates that the webhook configuration is correct and the events are being successfully delivered to your server. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that your server is processing these events correctly.
Let's break this down:
1. Webhook Configuration:
The 200 status code suggests that your server is receiving the webhook events from Stripe and responding appropriately. This indicates that the basic webhook setup in your Stripe Dashboard and your server's endpoint configuration are likely correct.
2. Event Delivery:
The "delivered" status means that Stripe successfully sent the webhook event to your server and received a 200 OK response.
However, there are still some potential issues to consider:
1. Event Processing:
While the events are being delivered, your server might not be processing them correctly. This could explain why you're not seeing the logs you expect in your Fly.io server.
2. Logging Issues:
As mentioned in the Discord support thread, there could be issues with how logs are being captured or displayed in your production environment.
3. Error Handling:
There might be errors occurring during the processing of the webhook events that are not being properly logged or handled.
To further debug this issue:
1. Check your Fly.io server logs for any error messages that might occur after the webhook is received.
2. Verify that your webhook secret in your production environment matches the one in your Stripe Dashboard.
3. Ensure that your server's environment variables are correctly set in Fly.io, especially those related to Stripe.
If you're still unable to see the expected logs or behavior, you might want to add more comprehensive logging throughout your webhook handling code to pinpoint where the process might be failing.
Remember, receiving a 200 status and "delivered" message is a good start, but it doesn't guarantee that your application is correctly processing and acting on the webhook events. Further investigation into your server-side code and logging might be necessary to resolve the issue.

I rolled my keys and that still isn't the problem the only thing that is helping me understand is that in stripe i see this as the response Response body
A pure html, rather than a json response, what could this mean? @kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information you've provided, it appears that your Stripe webhook endpoint is returning an HTML response instead of the expected JSON response. This is unusual and likely indicates a problem with your webhook handling. Let's explore what this could mean and how to address it:
1. Middleware Configuration:
The HTML response suggests that your webhook endpoint might be using the wrong middleware. For Stripe webhooks, you typically need to use
express.raw middleware instead of express.json.
As mentioned in the Wasp documentation on configuring middleware, you can customize the middleware for a specific API. For a Stripe webhook, you might need to do something like this:
2. Route Handling:
The HTML response could also indicate that the webhook request is being handled by a different route than intended, possibly your main application route that serves the HTML for your frontend.
3. Server Configuration:
There might be an issue with your server configuration that's causing it to serve the frontend HTML instead of processing the webhook as expected.
To resolve this issue:
1. Double-check your webhook route configuration in your Wasp application.
2. Ensure that the webhook endpoint is correctly set up to use the appropriate middleware (express.raw).
3. Verify that your Stripe webhook URL in the Stripe Dashboard exactly matches your server's webhook endpoint.
4. Add more detailed logging in your webhook handling code to see if it's being reached at all.
If you're still having trouble after checking these points, you might want to review the Stripe webhook documentation to ensure your implementation follows best practices.
Remember, Stripe webhooks expect a plain text response with a 200 status code, not an HTML or JSON response. If your endpoint is correctly configured, it should return a simple "success" message or an empty 200 response.
If you continue to face issues, you might want to share more details about your webhook handling code and server configuration for further assistance.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?api paymentsWebhook {
fn: import { paymentsWebhook } from "@src/payment/webhook",
entities: [User],
middlewareConfigFn: import { paymentsMiddlewareConfigFn } from "@src/payment/webhook",
httpRoute: (POST, "/payments-webhook")
}
is this normal or does auth need to be false? @kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, your API declaration for the payments webhook looks correct, but there's one important consideration regarding the
auth field.
For Stripe webhooks, it's generally recommended to set auth: false. This is because Stripe sends webhook events directly to your server without any user authentication. The webhook endpoint needs to be publicly accessible for Stripe to send events.
Here's how you should modify your API declaration:
The auth: false setting is crucial because:
1. It allows the webhook to be accessed without requiring user authentication.
2. It prevents Wasp from attempting to parse a JWT token from the Authorization header, which Stripe doesn't send.
As mentioned in the API Reference documentation:
"If auth is enabled, this will default to true and provide a context.user object. If you do not wish to attempt to parse the JWT in the Authorization Header, you should set this to false."
For a Stripe webhook, you definitely don't want to attempt to parse a JWT, so setting auth: false is the correct approach.
Your use of middlewareConfigFn is also good practice, as it allows you to customize the middleware for this specific API endpoint. This is where you would typically set up the raw body parsing required for Stripe webhook validation, as discussed in the middleware configuration documentation.
Remember to properly handle the webhook secret and event verification within your paymentsWebhook function to ensure the security of your webhook endpoint.

@kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
You're absolutely right, and I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Let's clarify this based on the actual OpenSaaS template implementation.
You are correct that in the OpenSaaS template, the
paymentsWebhook API is defined without an explicit auth: false declaration. This is indeed the correct approach for this template. Let me explain why:
1. Default Behavior: In Wasp, when the auth field is not explicitly specified for an API, it defaults to not requiring authentication. This means that omitting the auth field is equivalent to setting auth: false.
2. Template Design: The OpenSaaS template is designed to work out of the box, and the developers have carefully considered the configuration for each API endpoint.
3. Middleware Configuration: The use of middlewareConfigFn in this API declaration is crucial. It allows for custom configuration of the middleware specifically for this webhook endpoint, which is necessary for properly handling Stripe webhooks.
Given this information, the API declaration in the OpenSaaS template is correct and appropriate for handling Stripe webhooks. The paymentsMiddlewareConfigFn is likely configured to handle the raw body parsing and other necessary setup for Stripe webhook processing.
To summarize:
1. The API declaration in the OpenSaaS template is correct as is.
2. There's no need to add auth: false explicitly, as this is the default behavior when auth is not specified.
3. The middlewareConfigFn is used to set up the proper middleware configuration for Stripe webhook handling.
I appreciate you pointing this out, as it's important to provide accurate information based on the actual implementation in the template. If you're using the OpenSaaS template, you should keep the API declaration as it is in the template.

User error (of course!)
the -server was missing by me for the stripe-webhook!
something still is going wrong with webhooks - on dev the world is great, on prod the subscriptionStatus isn't being updated. i'll reply when I have more info. The events are there on the webhook.
In production, Stripe's webhook delivery order isn't guaranteed, so we need to make sure each relevant webhook handler properly updates the subscription status when appropriate.
Hard find! Make sure your webhooks are compatible and test your website with a 100% coupon.
1. I was using the wrong url for my webhook - it's -server at the end
2. On dev you might get a different order in your webhooks so make sure you test your real website with a 100% coupon and make your webhooks resilient so they could appear out of order and still work!
Ok, this is really good insight @Vinny (@Wasp)
did you change anything in your webhook code?
I don't think the current code assumes any order of the webhook events, so it should be fine, unless you added your own webhook handlers that assumed some order.
Most likely I switched something!
Most likely opensaas.sh is good as it is.
Maybe just a note to add somewhere!!
Wohooo @AAA, you just became a Waspeteer level 9!
