How to make Stripe manually resend an event to webhook

Question

I have been using the Stripe API and it's been calling my Webhook successfully for about a year.

But yesterday an issue occured for the first time. The webhook did not manage to succesfully complete its intended operation, but returned a 200 status code anyway, so Stripe didn't retry.

I have now fixed the error on the Webhook, but can't figure out how to make Stripe repeat the webhook call for this particular event. I can retrieve the event, but there's no button to resend. How to?

Answer 1

Stripe cli allows this stripe events resend IDOFTHEEVENT --live --webhook-endpoint=IDOFTHEWEBHOOK (replace IDOFTHEEVENT by the id of the event, and IDOFTHEWEBHOOK by the id of the webhook which you can find in the URL when you are on a webhook's page).

Otherwise you can copy/paste the event sent to the webhook and sent it to your endpoint with a tool such as postman.

Answer 2

It is possible to manually resend webhook events.

In the Stripe Dashboard, select Developers > Webhooks, then find the webhook your working with and press the little "resend" icon.

Note that for events which succeeded, you can still resend them by clicking the ellipsis and then "Resend" (this is a newer feature).
