Stripe Webhook Testing for localhost

Forward Stripe webhook events to localhost with stable HTTPS URLs, signature verification, and repeatable local QA workflows.

Who this is for

Payments teams validating checkout, subscription, and invoice event handlers.

Primary keyword

stripe webhook localhost tunnel

Verification checkpoint

Always verify Stripe-Signature before any write or side-effect.

Quick start pattern

Command

instatunnel webhook init --provider stripe --port 4242 --path /webhooks/stripe

Public endpoint example

https://your-subdomain.instatunnel.my/webhooks/stripe

Provider field mapping

Public URLhttps://your-subdomain.instatunnel.my/webhooks/stripe
Local portUse the port from your local app command.
Success checkAlways verify Stripe-Signature before any write or side-effect.

Failure fixes

If the provider cannot reach the endpoint, confirm the local app is running and restart the tunnel with the same subdomain.

If events arrive but fail verification, compare the exact public URL and signature secret configured in the provider dashboard.

If retries create duplicates, store the provider event ID before performing side effects.
