Shopping Cart: The Webhook

3. Create an Endpoint

1. Create a new server action within the stripe folder and call it endpoint. It should then be accessible at:

dmxConnect/api/stripe/endpoint.php

2. Next we need to create a few $_POST variables under Globals.

Variable: id
Variable: created
Variable: type

Object: data
    Object: object
            Variable: payment_intent

Mine looks like this:

You can add more variables from the Stripe API scheme if you need them. For example I’ve also added the customer_email field too.

3. Add a Database connection followed by a Database Query.

In my case the query will be the customer_order table and I will set a condition that matches the payment intent stored agains the payment intent provided by the Stripe webhook.

4. In my case I now insert a Database Update step to update the customer_order as paid.
5. And finally I insert a Response and set it to 200. This is to alert Stripe that we have received and accepted the webhook.

Note - It has been reported that by adding a 200 Response may cause an error on Stripe’s end. You may not need to add this step.

Thanks to @max_gb and several beers I now have a successfully working cart and payment gateway with Stripe.

Two issues to solve and I think I can call it a success that I thought I had no hope to achieve.

Anyways, the webhook part of Max’s tutorial is a very important step. I have followed the tutorial and in my Stripe dashboard it shows as the webhook was successful.

So that tells me that I have not set up something right on my endpoint. The endpoint doesn’t seem to be pulling the intent and not updating my order record. I am not getting any errors anywhere, the data is just not getting updated.

You haven’t nested the payment_intent variable within the object (ironically called object) which is further nested inside of another object called data.

Have a look at my screenshot above and compare it to yours.

It’s a thing of beauty! Works like a charm.
