Key Considerations#

  • Always verify webhook signatures; never process unverified events
  • Handle events idempotently since Stripe may send the same event multiple times
  • Return 200 status quickly and process heavy work asynchronously if needed
  • Log all webhook events to maintain an audit trail for debugging payment issues
  • Monitor webhook processing failures and set up alerts for repeated errors
