Handling Stripe Webhooks

When you are building a donation platform, transaction processing is only half the battle. The real work starts when the webhook arrives. In this video, I walk through how to build a highly robust Stripe Webhook Processor in Next.js.

Key Takeaways:

  • Idempotency checks: Checking signature validation to avoid duplicate transactions.
  • Transactional isolation: Writing to ledger tables before acknowledging receipt.
  • Failover strategies: Handling timeout states gracefully.
