Stripe webhooks, without the lost events

Common problems, solved

A deploy or an outage makes your endpoint fail, and payments go unprocessed.

HookStead answers Stripe as soon as the event is stored, then keeps retrying your endpoint with backoff until it recovers. Nothing waits on your uptime.

“No signatures found matching the expected signature.”

Usually a framework parsed the body before verification. HookStead verifies Stripe's signature on the raw bytes, and your app verifies one Standard Webhooks signature instead.

You fixed a bug, but the failed events from last night are gone.

Every event is kept for your plan's retention. Replay one, or bulk-retry every failed delivery at once.

Duplicate events trigger double emails or double provisioning.

Each delivery carries a stable webhook-id, the same on every retry and replay, ready for an idempotency table.

Set up in five minutes

1. 01Create a source in HookStead with the “Stripe signature” option and copy its URL.
2. 02In Stripe, add a webhook endpoint with that URL and paste Stripe's signing secret (whsec_…) into the source.
3. 03Add your app as a destination, connect it to the source, and verify HookStead's signature in your handler.
4. 04Send a test event from Stripe and watch it arrive and deliver in the dashboard.
