I spend my weekend trying to figure out Stripe Webhooks, but still haven't found a way to debug the response. This is my current code:

http_response_code(200);

 // set stripe api key
 Stripe::setApiKey(env('STRIPE_SECRET'));
 $endpoint_secret = 'whsec_XXX';

 $payload = @file_get_contents('php://input');
 $sig_header = $_SERVER['HTTP_STRIPE_SIGNATURE'];
 $event_json = json_decode($payload);

 try 
 $event = StripeWebhook::constructEvent(
 $payload, $sig_header, $endpoint_secret
 );
 catch(UnexpectedValueException $e) 
 // Invalid payload
 http_response_code(400);
 exit();
 catch(StripeErrorSignatureVerification $e) 
 // Invalid signature
 http_response_code(400);
 exit();
 

 $event_id = $event_json->id;

 if(isset($event_json->id)) 
 try 

 // to verify this is a real event, we re-retrieve the event from Stripe
 $event = StripeEvent::retrieve($event_id);
 $invoice = $event->data->object;

 // successful payment, both one time and recurring payments
 if($event->type == 'charge.succeeded') 
 $customer = StripeCustomer::retrieve($invoice->customer);
 $email = $customer->email;
 Mail::send('emails.new-userlike',
 array(
 'user' => $customer
 ), function($message) 
 $message->from('info@friendships.me', 'friendships.me');
 $message->to('info@friendships.me')->subject('Test');
 );
 

 // failed payment
 if($event->type == 'charge.failed') 
 // send a failed payment notice email here
 


 catch (Exception $e) 
 // something failed, perhaps log a notice or email the site admin
 
 

This results in a error 500 so far... ._.

But that is not the problem, I had it working already. The thing is, I need to check a SEPA subscription for a charge.failed or charge.succeeded response and only on a successful charge, create the subscription.

How do I access a subscription-id within this webhook? Or better, how do I debug the response? Because even this does not sent a response:

http_response_code(200);
$payload = @file_get_contents('php://input');
$event_json = json_decode($payload);
print_r("test");

I would start with the simplest possible webhook handler first

<?php
// Retrieve the request's body and parse it as JSON:
$input = @file_get_contents('php://input');
$event = json_decode($input);

http_response_code(200); // PHP 5.4 or greater

// echo the event id, evt_xxxyyyzzz
echo $event->id;

if($event->type == "charge.succeeded") 
 // you want the id of the charge rather than the event, ch_xxxyyzz
 echo $event->data->object->id;


?>

When you use the "send test webhook" function in your Dashboard, you should then see something like evt_0000000 in the response (and ch_000000 if the event type is charge.succeeded).

If you're still getting 500 errors that means something is incorrectly configured on your server, and you can get the full error in your web server's error.log (try looking in /var/log or your server's web dashboard)
