Stripe Webhook

Stripe webhooks facilitate real-time notifications of Stripe account activities. These events trigger actions in ME, keeping you updated on customer payments, disputes, subscription changes, and more.

Feature

Stripe events alert you when significant actions occur within your account. These events, encapsulated as Event objects, are generated to highlight specific occurrences. For instance, a successful charge triggers a charge.succeeded event, while a failed invoice payment prompts an invoice.payment_failed event. In Stripe, retrieving an individual event or a list of events from the API is possible.

Known behavior:

• Retry Attempts: Stripe attempts delivery of an event to your webhook endpoint for up to 3 days.
• Order of Events: Stripe doesn’t guarantee delivery of events in the order they’re generated. 

Meiro Events accepts the following types of events from Stripe:

• Payment Success:
  • payment_intent.succeeded
  • charge.succeeded
• Payment Failure:
  • payment_intent.payment_failed
  • charge.failed
• Dispute Management:
  • payment_intent.dispute.created
  • payment_intent.dispute.updated
  • payment_intent.dispute.closed
