Setting up Stripe WebHook

What is a webhook?

Webhooks allow Stripe to send notifications to your website when certain events occur. For example, if a payment is refunded in Stripe, Stripe can automatically send a notification to your webhook to let your website know.

Stripe uses webhooks to notify your application when an event happens in your account. Webhooks are particularly useful for asynchronous events like when a customer’s bank confirms a payment, a customer disputes a charge, or a recurring payment succeeds. Learn more about stripe webhooks.
