Expert insight
Stripe webhooks can arrive out of order or be delivered more than once (Stripe's own documentation states this explicitly), so a workflow that assumes "payment_succeeded" always arrives before "payment_failed" for the same payment, or that a webhook only ever fires once, will eventually process an event incorrectly. Idempotency keys and order-independent logic are not optional for payment workflows.
In a real workflow
A Stripe "invoice.paid" webhook updates the CRM and unlocks access to the product.
Common mistakes
- Not verifying Stripe webhook signatures.
- Handling only the success events and ignoring failures and refunds.
Complexity level
Anyone can understand this no technical background needed.
