Hi,

maybe smth went wrong or you didn’t start ghost with the webhook properly.

  1. install stripe cli (Get started with the Stripe CLI | Stripe Documentation)
    i did it via apt-get, but it’s up to you
  2. pair stripe-cli with stripe account
    $ stripe login
    you will be prompted with a pairing code and a URL
    visit the URL and allow access
  3. set your stripe-cli to listen
    stripe listen --forward-to http://localhost:2368/members/webhooks/stripe/
    you will be prompted with a webhook signing secret
  4. finally, start your ghost enviroment with your individual webhook secret
    WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_1234567890abcdefg ghost start

important: stripe listen has to run in it’s own terminal window, so don’t close it. Start ghost with the webhook in a new terminal window/tab instead.

Terminal window 1:

Terminal window 2:

For recurring sessions, you only need to start the stripe listen process in window 1 and start ghost with webhook in window 2. stripe login is only needed the first time.
