Stripe Secure Webhook

brian

Secure your data sent from Stripe to Xano via webhook, following Stripe's recommended approach for manual verification described here:

If you are new to connecting Stripe to Xano, start with the Stripe Checkout template. Then, follow the instructions below to install this snippet.

Here's how to get started:

• Snippet:
• Video walk-through:
• Instructions: how to add a snippet

This snippet can be used with the example provided in our documentation on how to connect Stripe to Xano.

The snippet contains:

• POST /webhooks_test: an endpoint you can use in Stripe to confirm that the webhook is successfully firing on payment and sending its data to Xano.
• POST /webhooks_secure: an endpoint following Stripe's guideline on how to compare the signature provided in the header with a signature you create using the webhook's secret.
• Custom function /webhooks_secure_func: a custom function you can put at the start of an endpoint to verify the webhook signature is valid.

In this snippet you can learn:

• How to use Stripe webhooks
• How to use Request History to easily test results from a webhook
• How to use a table instead of Stop & Debug to check values in your function
• How to parse the http header of a webhook POST
• How to hash a value using HMAC

Really nicely put together explanation! This is a very helpful walk through and feature to have available for Stripe and other webhooks too!

brian

That's great to hear @Brian Giometti ! I'm curious what other webhooks you'd use it with?

Brian Giometti

I'm currently doing the same signature verification for webhooks coming from https://cloudconvert.com/ which I'm finding to be a very powerful companion for working with docs in xano (details at the bottom of this page https://cloudconvert.com/api/v2/webhooks#webhooks-events)

Why is it that after installing the snippet it only shows 1 webhook.

prosperly

Or rather, there is only one endpoint.

brian

I'll check into this @prosperly - there should be three endpoints. Could you open a support ticket with us so I can check your specific install?

brian

@prosperly can confirm there are three endpoints under the API group "stripe_checkout" on install.

This is what was generated for me. Am I missing something?

Ah - that's for the Stripe Checkout template.
