Handle Stripe webhooks in a Laravel application
License: MIT License
Languages: PHP
Stripe can notify your application of events using webhooks. This package can help you handle those webhooks. Out of the box it will verify the Stripe signature of all incoming requests. All valid calls will be logged to the database. You can easily define jobs or events that should be dispatched when specific events hit your app.
This package will not handle what should be done after the webhook request has been validated and the right job or event is called. You should still code up any work (eg. regarding payments) yourself.
Before using this package we highly recommend reading the entire documentation on webhooks over at Stripe.
We invest a lot of resources into creating best in class open source packages. You can support us by buying one of our paid products.
We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on our contact page. We publish all received postcards on our virtual postcard wall.
Please see UPGRADING for details.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require spatie/laravel-stripe-webhooks
The service provider will automatically register itself.
You must publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\StripeWebhooks\StripeWebhooksServiceProvider"
This is the contents of the config file that will be published at config/stripe-webhooks.php
:
return [
/*
* Stripe will sign each webhook using a secret. You can find the used secret at the
* webhook configuration settings: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/webhooks.
*/
'signing_secret' => env('STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET'),
/*
* You can define a default job that should be run for all other Stripe event type
* without a job defined in next configuration.
* You may leave it empty to store the job in database but without processing it.
*/
'default_job' => '',
/*
* You can define the job that should be run when a certain webhook hits your application
* here. The key is the name of the Stripe event type with the `.` replaced by a `_`.
*
* You can find a list of Stripe webhook types here:
* https://stripe.com/docs/api#event_types.
*/
'jobs' => [
// 'source_chargeable' => \App\Jobs\StripeWebhooks\HandleChargeableSource::class,
// 'charge_failed' => \App\Jobs\StripeWebhooks\HandleFailedCharge::class,
],
/*
* The classname of the model to be used. The class should equal or extend
* Spatie\WebhookClient\Models\WebhookCall.
*/
'model' => \Spatie\WebhookClient\Models\WebhookCall::class,
/**
* This class determines if the webhook call should be stored and processed.
*/
'profile' => \Spatie\StripeWebhooks\StripeWebhookProfile::class,
/*
* Specify a connection and or a queue to process the webhooks
*/
'connection' => env('STRIPE_WEBHOOK_CONNECTION'),
'queue' => env('STRIPE_WEBHOOK_QUEUE'),
/*
* When disabled, the package will not verify if the signature is valid.
* This can be handy in local environments.
*/
'verify_signature' => env('STRIPE_SIGNATURE_VERIFY', true),
];
In the signing_secret
key of the config file you should add a valid webhook secret. You can find the secret used at the webhook configuration settings on the Stripe dashboard.
Next, you must publish the migration with:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\WebhookClient\WebhookClientServiceProvider" --tag="webhook-client-migrations"
After the migration has been published you can create the webhook_calls
table by running the migrations:
php artisan migrate
Finally, take care of the routing: At the Stripe dashboard you must configure at what url Stripe webhooks should hit your app. In the routes file of your app you must pass that route to Route::stripeWebhooks
:
Route::stripeWebhooks('webhook-route-configured-at-the-stripe-dashboard');
Behind the scenes this will register a POST
route to a controller provided by this package. Because Stripe has no way of getting a csrf-token, you must add that route to the except
array of the VerifyCsrfToken
middleware:
protected $except = [
'webhook-route-configured-at-the-stripe-dashboard',
];
Stripe will send out webhooks for several event types. You can find the full list of events types in the Stripe documentation.
Stripe will sign all requests hitting the webhook url of your app. This package will automatically verify if the signature is valid. If it is not, the request was probably not sent by Stripe.
Unless something goes terribly wrong, this package will always respond with a 200
to webhook requests. Sending a 200
will prevent Stripe from resending the same event over and over again.
Stripe might occasionally send a duplicate webhook request more than once. This package makes sure that each request will only be processed once.
All webhook requests with a valid signature will be logged in the webhook_calls
table. The table has a payload
column where the entire payload of the incoming webhook is saved.
If the signature is not valid, the request will not be logged in the webhook_calls
table but a Spatie\StripeWebhooks\WebhookFailed
exception will be thrown.
If something goes wrong during the webhook request the thrown exception will be saved in the exception
column. In that case the controller will send a 500
instead of 200
.
There are two ways this package enables you to handle webhook requests: you can opt to queue a job or listen to the events the package will fire.
If you want to do something when a specific event type comes in you can define a job that does the work. Here's an example of such a job:
<?php
namespace App\Jobs\StripeWebhooks;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Spatie\WebhookClient\Models\WebhookCall;
class HandleChargeableSource implements ShouldQueue
{
use InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
/** @var \Spatie\WebhookClient\Models\WebhookCall */
public $webhookCall;
public function __construct(WebhookCall $webhookCall)
{
$this->webhookCall = $webhookCall;
}
public function handle()
{
// do your work here
// you can access the payload of the webhook call with `$this->webhookCall->payload`
}
}
We highly recommend that you make this job queueable, because this will minimize the response time of the webhook requests. This allows you to handle more stripe webhook requests and avoid timeouts.
After having created your job you must register it at the jobs
array in the stripe-webhooks.php
config file. The key should be the name of the stripe event type where but with the .
replaced by _
. The value should be the fully qualified classname.
// config/stripe-webhooks.php
'jobs' => [
'source_chargeable' => \App\Jobs\StripeWebhooks\HandleChargeableSource::class,
],
In case you want to configure one job as default to process all undefined event, you may set the job at default_job
in
the stripe-webhooks.php
config file. The value should be the fully qualified classname.
By default, the configuration is an empty string ''
, which will only store the event in database but without handling.
// config/stripe-webhooks.php
'default_job' => \App\Jobs\StripeWebhooks\HandleOtherEvent::class,
Instead of queueing jobs to perform some work when a webhook request comes in, you can opt to listen to the events this package will fire. Whenever a valid request hits your app, the package will fire a stripe-webhooks::<name-of-the-event>
event.
The payload of the events will be the instance of WebhookCall
that was created for the incoming request.
Let's take a look at how you can listen for such an event. In the EventServiceProvider
you can register listeners.
/**
* The event listener mappings for the application.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $listen = [
'stripe-webhooks::source.chargeable' => [
App\Listeners\ChargeSource::class,
],
];
Here's an example of such a listener:
<?php
namespace App\Listeners;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Spatie\WebhookClient\Models\WebhookCall;
class ChargeSource implements ShouldQueue
{
public function handle(WebhookCall $webhookCall)
{
// do your work here
// you can access the payload of the webhook call with `$webhookCall->payload`
}
}
We highly recommend that you make the event listener queueable, as this will minimize the response time of the webhook requests. This allows you to handle more Stripe webhook requests and avoid timeouts.
The above example is only one way to handle events in Laravel. To learn the other options, read the Laravel documentation on handling events.
All incoming webhook requests are written to the database. This is incredibly valuable when something goes wrong while handling a webhook call. You can easily retry processing the webhook call, after you've investigated and fixed the cause of failure, like this:
use Spatie\WebhookClient\Models\WebhookCall;
use Spatie\StripeWebhooks\ProcessStripeWebhookJob;
dispatch(new ProcessStripeWebhookJob(WebhookCall::find($id)));
You can add some custom logic that should be executed before and/or after the scheduling of the queued job by using your own model. You can do this by specifying your own model in the model
key of the stripe-webhooks
config file. The class should extend Spatie\StripeWebhooks\ProcessStripeWebhookJob
.
Here's an example:
use Spatie\StripeWebhooks\ProcessStripeWebhookJob;
class MyCustomStripeWebhookJob extends ProcessStripeWebhookJob
{
public function handle()
{
// do some custom stuff beforehand
parent::handle();
// do some custom stuff afterwards
}
}
You may use your own logic to determine if a request should be processed or not. You can do this by specifying your own profile in the profile
key of the stripe-webhooks
config file. The class should implement Spatie\WebhookClient\WebhookProfile\WebhookProfile
.
In this example we will make sure to only process a request if it wasn't processed before.
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Spatie\WebhookClient\Models\WebhookCall;
use Spatie\WebhookClient\WebhookProfile\WebhookProfile;
class StripeWebhookProfile implements WebhookProfile
{
public function shouldProcess(Request $request): bool
{
return ! WebhookCall::where('payload->id', $request->get('id'))->exists();
}
}
When using Stripe Connect you might want to the package to handle multiple endpoints and secrets. Here's how to configurate that behaviour.
If you are using the Route::stripeWebhooks
macro, you can append the configKey
as follows:
Route::stripeWebhooks('webhook-url/{configKey}');
Alternatively, if you are manually defining the route, you can add configKey
like so:
Route::post('webhook-url/{configKey}', '\Spatie\StripeWebhooks\StripeWebhooksController');
If this route parameter is present the verify middleware will look for the secret using a different config key, by appending the given the parameter value to the default config key. E.g. If Stripe posts to webhook-url/my-named-secret
you'd add a new config named signing_secret_my-named-secret
.
Example config for Connect might look like:
// secret for when Stripe posts to webhook-url/account
'signing_secret_account' => 'whsec_abc',
// secret for when Stripe posts to webhook-url/connect
'signing_secret_connect' => 'whsec_123',
You can transform the Webhook payload into a Stripe object to assist in accessing its various methods and properties.
To do this, use the Stripe\Event::constructFrom($payload)
method with the WebhookCall
's payload:
use Stripe\Event;
// ...
public function handle(WebhookCall $webhookCall)
{
/** @var \Stripe\StripeObject|null */
$stripeObject = Event::constructFrom($webhookCall->payload)->data?->object;
}
For example, if you have setup a Stripe webhook for the invoice.created
event, you can transform the payload into a StripeInvoice
object:
/** @var \Stripe\StripeInvoice|null */
$stripeInvoice = Event::constructFrom($webhookCall->payload)->data?->object;
// $stripeInvoice->status
// $stripeInvoice->amount_due
// $stripeInvoice->amount_paid
// $stripeInvoice->amount_remaining
foreach ($stripeInvoice->lines as $invoiceLine) {
// ...
}
Laravel Cashier allows you to easily handle Stripe subscriptions. You may install it in the same application together with laravel-stripe-webhooks
. There are no known conflicts.
