RELATES_TOProblem

the first invoice is always immediately charged — Use checkout to create subscription. Tension: without waiting for the webhook to process succesfully.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

No signatures found matching the expected signature for payload. — I tested with stripe-cli on local and it works fine. But after deploy to vercel. Tension: Are you passing the raw request body you received from Stripe? Outcome: The issue was not on Vercel.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Stripe webhook endpoint provides two secret keys. — works in local development and (2) works when deployed to Vercel. Tension: One is provided in the sample code when setting up the new endpoint. Outcome: you can find in enpoint detail.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

I'm unsure how to automatically obtain the preview app's URL for visiting it in Cypress tests. — How can I dynamically retrieve the URL of a preview app created on Vercel when a pull request is made in a Next.js project deployed via GitHub? Tension: I want to utilize Cypress for testing purposes on this deployed app. Outcome: can grab the URL of the preview from a github action event.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

disable the authentication in project settings — For more details check this article: https://vercel.com/docs/security/deployment-protection/methods-to-protect-deployments/vercel-authentication#managing-vercel-authentication.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

The Vercel platform is made for static sites and Serverless Functions. Tension: This kind of error happens when you try to run a server instead of static content. Outcome: https://vercel.com/guides/using-express-with-vercel.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

some events are asynchronous and not come from a frontend request.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

webhook is not received for these events — I have implemented payout mechanism for stripe connect account. Outcome: In the stripe dashboard, it is showing that payment is payout to user bank in test sandbox.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Remove the invalid `invoice:billing_reason` override and instead trigger the correct event (e.g., `stripe trigger customer.subscription.created`) so Stripe creates the subsequent invoice with `billing_reason="subscription_create"`.

PERTAIN_TORootCause

customer.subscription.created if a organization(tenant) doesn’t exist yet — I register users and organizations manually from a view. Tension: I create the customer and subscription using Stripe API before saving to the database.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

if a organization(tenant) doesn’t exist yet in Stripe webhook — How to handle customer.subscription.created. Tension: using Django and Stripe for a multi-tenant SaaS.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

just write a polling logic for you application — for all the stripe api calls. Tension: maybe schedulling the polling every 30 mins.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

the processing of the webhook event payload to fail once (or more) — handling Stripe webhooks. Tension: wait some time during which the organization gets created, and then retry the operation. Outcome: this would allow for the processing of the webhook event payload to fail once (or more), wait some time during which the organization gets created, and then retry the operation.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

adding Celery to your project — handling Stripe webhooks. Tension: This would allow for the processing of the webhook event payload to fail once (or more). Outcome: retry the operation.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

defer the creation of any Stripe objects until after the necessary entities are created in your database. Tension: it is still unclear to me why you need to defer creation of the organization until after you create the Customer and Subscription using the Stripe SDK. Outcome: defer the creation of any Stripe objects until after the necessary entities are created in your database.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

You can find the PaymentMethod id by looking at the `payment_method` property on the PaymentIntent — associated with the Checkout Session. Tension: I don’t know how. Outcome: that you can then use for future payments.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

the payment_intent field has been removed from the Invoice object — I'm working with the latest Stripe Basil API. Tension: Previously, I could directly associate a PaymentIntent with an invoice, but now I'm unsure how to establish this connection.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

This can be accomplished via the InvoicePayments API — link a PaymentIntent to its corresponding invoice with the Basil API. Outcome: passing `payment[payment_intent]=pi_123`.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

use a websocket system to send the updates done by the stripe webhook. Tension: I'm a bit dubitative as if the user has not an open session on his account I suppose that it will not work. Outcome: use a websocket system to send the updates done by the stripe webhook.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

the invoice does not finalize after simulating a clock advancement of 1 hour (even weeks) — I use test clocks to simulate the subscription. Tension: I would have expected that the invoice was already finalized. Outcome: the invoice was actually finalized by advancing with test clock by an additional hour.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Traclution saves and stores GCLIDs for you — Implement tracking script to your website. Tension: You basically have to do only few steps. Outcome: Tracklution will tie together the website session with GCLID and Purchase data from Stripe.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Implement tracking script to your website — Redirect users back to your website from Stripe. Tension: Set up webhook in Stripe that triggers on checkout.session.completed event. Outcome: Connect Google Ads API with your Tracklution account.

PERTAIN_TORootCause

Checkout Session is designed to redirect users only when a payment is successful. — with Checkout Session. Tension: when a payment fails, the users stays on the same page to allow them to retry the payment. Outcome: what you are trying to do (redirect when the payment fails) is not possible with Checkout Session.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Checkout Session is designed to redirect users only when a payment is successful. — with Checkout Session. Tension: when a payment fails, the users stays on the same page to allow them to retry the payment. Outcome: This way, when a payment fails, the users stays on the same page to allow them to retry the payment.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Strapi’s Stripe webhook endpoint logs incoming events, but every request fails with “No stripe-signature header value was provided.” This prevents Stripe webhook signature verification from succeeding during local testing.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Configure the webhook route to use raw body handling (e.g., Express `express.raw({ type: 'application/json' })` in the Strapi webhook controller/route) and ensure the Stripe-Signature header is forwarded to the verifier so signature verification can use the unmodified raw payload.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Test Clocks? They are a way to simulate the advancement of time for Stripe subscriptions. — You can use Test Clocks to simulate monthly & annual subscription cycles in seconds. Tension: you do need to wait while the clock advances before you call the API again. Outcome: it will trigger the webhook events.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Webhook payload must be provided as a string or a Buffer — Payload was provided as a parsed JavaScript object instead. Tension: Signature verification is impossible without access to the original signed material. Outcome: Webhook Error: Webhook payload must be provided as a string or a Buffer.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Stripe webhook logs show the full session payload, but accessing individual fields in the Next.js webhook returns undefined when saving to Prisma.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

You should make an API request to `stripe.checkout.Session.retrieve` when handling the webhook — when handling the webhook. Tension: Webhooks always send the base version. Outcome: you can pass `expand=['line_items']` in that retrieve call.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

When polling Stripe for a customer or their subscriptions by login, an additional customer appears to be created even though the polling functions are intended to only search and read data. This unexpected customer creation happens whenever the polling functions are called.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Verify the exact Stripe API request that creates the new customer by checking the customer’s Logs in the Stripe Dashboard (identify the last request, e.g., POST /v1/customers). Then adjust the code/flow so that polling uses only read/search endpoints and ensure no create/upsert code path (including any webhook/test setup) is being triggered during polling.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

invoice.payment_failed fires on failed recurring invoice payments, but subscription cancellation timing is unclear

PERTAIN_TOSolution

For every failed payment attempt on the recurring invoice payments, an `invoice.payment_failed` event will be sent. — If my user join to the monthly product, he pays the first month by credit card, then he uses his subscription normally during the time he is entitled to. Tension: Only when the payment retries are exhausted, the subscription will be canceled, marked as `unpaid` or left it as `past_due` depending on your "Manage payments that require confirmation" setting in Dashboard. Outcome: Your system should listen to `invoice.payment_failed` event and follow the guide here to recover the payment failures: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/webhooks#payment-failures.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

the first invoice is always immediately charged — Use checkout to create subscription. Tension: without waiting for the webhook to process succesfully.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

create the subscription with `trial_end` set a couple of seconds into the future — Checkout Sessions require `trial_end` to be 48 hours in the future. Tension: you can't use Checkout Sessions for this. Outcome: The subscription will first generate a $0 invoice, and once the trial is over a non-zero invoice will be created with a one hour draft period.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

use the Payment Element to collect payment instead — collect the PaymentMethod first then create a subscription schedule. Tension: You will need to collect the PaymentMethod first then create a subscription schedule. Outcome: these guides may be useful.

PERTAIN_TORootCause

The Stripe CLI was forwarding webhooks to the wrong URL/route (`/api/checkout` instead of the actual `/api/webhook` route).

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Received event with API version 2022-11-15, but Stripe.net 44.0.0 expects API version 2024-04-10. — running my app and making Stripe calls. Tension: Stripe.net 44.0.0 expects API version 2024-04-10. Outcome: We recommend that you create a WebhookEndpoint with this API version.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

We recommend that you create a WebhookEndpoint with this API version. Tension: be wary that objects may be incorrectly deserialized.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Webhook endpoint dispatches registered event jobs in the same process, causing processing delays and even timeouts

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Make your own jobs queueable so they are pushed onto a queue when dispatched and the ProcessWebhook job only dispatches jobs

PERTAIN_TORootCause

The metadata values being sent are empty, null, or ignored at Checkout Session creation

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Force 20 metadata key/value pairs on creation and confirm they appear in the resulting Event

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Check the API request log in the Dashboard and verify the metadata sent on Checkout Session creation

PERTAIN_TOProblem

I see no way to initiate this event directly from the dashboard. — when using a hosted endpoint with ngrok or any other tunneling tool. Tension: I have to wait until the end of the month for the event to trigger. Outcome: my manager won't appreciate me waiting for that long.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

you can manually finalize it as soon as it's been created — when it's a draft. Tension: there won't be any modifications needed to the Invoice. Outcome: yes, you can manually finalize it as soon as it's been created.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

it doesn't show the purchases but a single subscription — I've tried:. Tension: I've done, in test mode, alot of purchases with the username I've passed in the argument.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

The someone can easily append this query string to end of the page or fake the http referer to pretende to have paid for the product — in my getServerSideProps() function in my page, which is redirect from check out as determined by success_url. Tension: I need a server side check too. Outcome: How can I do that?

PERTAIN_TOSolution

If you want to use the Payment Element, you can create either a PaymentIntent or SetupIntent. Tension: Checkout Sessions and the Payment Element are two separate/different integration paths. Outcome: use the corresponding `client_secret` [0][1] which looks like `pi_..._secret_...` and `seti_..._secret_...` respectively.
