Stripe webhooks, third time lucky

The error was obvious in hindsight. Notes for future me.

Spent about four hours on this. The webhook kept silently failing — no error, just nothing happening on our end after payment.

Turns out I had the wrong endpoint URL in Stripe’s dashboard. Not the local tunnel. The actual deployed URL. Classic.

Second attempt: correct URL, still failing. Signature verification rejecting it. Wrong webhook secret — the test one, not live.

Third time: both correct. Worked first try.
