Local development

The way to test the webhook during local development
This way is universal to all providers. Stripe provides its own CLI to better handle local development. We will introduce it in detail in the Stripe chapter.

​
Tunnel

If you want to test the webhook locally, you can use ngrok to create a tunnel to your local machine. Ngrok will then give you a URL that you can use to test the webhook locally. To do so, install ngrok and run it with the following command (while your ShipThing web development server is running): 
ngrok http 3002
We forward webhooks to port 3002 of apps/api by default. If your web development server is not port 3002, please modify the port in the ngrok command.
This will give you a URL (see the Forwarding output) that you can use to create a webhook in Stripe. Just use that url and add /api/webhooks/{providerName} to it. Replace {providerName} with the name of the provider you are using. For example, if you are using Stripe, you would use stripe as the provider name.

​
Production development

When going to production, you will need to set the webhook URL and the events you want to listen to in payment provider. If the webhook path is /api/webhooks/stripe and your app is hosted at https://myapp.com then you need to enter https://myapp.com/api/webhooks/stripe as the URL.
