Why your Stripe webhook might be silently dropping events (and how to find out)
Stripe webhooks can silently drop events if not monitored properly. Issues such as persistent endpoint failures, firewall blocks, or incorrect URL configurations can lead to missed payment notifications. Regularly checking the Event deliveries tab is crucial to avoid unexpected losses in payment data.
- ▪Stripe sends a POST to your webhook endpoint when a customer's payment fails, and your endpoint must quickly return a 2xx response.
- ▪If your endpoint fails to respond correctly, Stripe will mark the attempt as failed and will retry the delivery for up to 3 days.
- ▪Common causes of event loss include persistent endpoint issues, firewall settings blocking requests, and outdated webhook URLs.
