2. Login to your Stripe account via the CLI:

stripe login

3. Start forwarding events to your local server:

stripe listen --forward-to http://localhost:3000/api/webhooks/stripe

4. Copy the webhook signing secret displayed by the CLI and add it to your .env file:

STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_your_webhook_secret

For Production

1. In the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers → Webhooks
2. Click "Add endpoint"
3. Enter your webhook URL: https://your-domain.com/api/webhooks/stripe
4. Select the events you want to receive (at minimum: checkout.session.completed, customer.subscription.created, customer.subscription.updated, customer.subscription.deleted)
