Would you like to configure Stripe webhooks via the Developer menu on your Stripe dashboard? Stripe recently launched a new Workbench tool to manage integrations with third-party plugins like WPForms.

This tutorial will cover the steps to set up Stripe webhooks for WPForms through the Developer dashboard in Stripe.

- [Retrieving Endpoint ID and Signing Secret](#endpoint-id-secret)

While this method works to set up Stripe webhooks, we recommend using the Stripe Workbench to connect your site. Stripe has mentioned that Workbench replaces the existing Developer dashboard. For more details, see our [tutorial on setting up Stripe webhooks](https://wpforms.com/docs/setting-up-stripe-webhooks/).

## Creating a Webhook Endpoint in Stripe

First, you’ll need to enable Stripe Webhooks from your WPForms settings page. Please see our [tutorial for more details](https://wpforms.com/docs/setting-up-stripe-webhooks/#enable-webhooks). After enabling Stripe Webhooks, you can then proceed to your Stripe account to create the Webhook endpoint.

In the new tab or window you’ve opened, log in to your Stripe account and open your [Stripe dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/).

When you log in to your Stripe account, you’ll find a **Test mode** toggle button in the top-right corner of the page. Ensure this toggle aligns with your site’s mode: if your site is in Test Mode, set the toggle to **ON**, and if your site is in Live Mode, make sure it’s switched **OFF**.

![Click on Webhooks tab](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/webhooks-tab.png)In the Webhooks tab, click on the **Add an endpoint** button to create a new webhook endpoint.

![Click on Add an endpoint button](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/add-an-endpoint-button-1.png)This opens a **Listen to Stripe events** page where you’ll need to enter details to configure your webhook.

![Listen To Stripe events page](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/stripe-events-page.png)First, navigate back to the WPForms settings in your WordPress site. Once there, you’ll need to copy the **Webhooks Endpoint** by clicking the copy icon.

![Copy Webhooks Endpoint from WPForms](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/copy-webhooks-endpoint.png)Once you’ve copied the Webhooks Endpoint, switch over to your Stripe account and paste the **Webhooks Endpoint** into the **Endpoint URL** field.

![Endpoint URL field](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/endpoint-url-in-stripe-account.png)Next, while the **Description** field is optional, we recommend entering **WPForms** to easily identify the webhook’s purpose.

Then, you’ll come across the **Listen to** and **Version** options. Leave them as is and click on the **+ Select events** button.

![Select events button](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/select-events-button.png)In the overlay that opens, check the **Select all events** checkbox to ensure your Stripe account sends all events.

![Select all events checkbox](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/select-all-events.png)After checking the Select all events checkbox, click the **Add events** button to finalize your event selection.

![Add events button](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/add-events-button.png)Once done, click the **Add endpoint** button after scrolling down to the bottom of the page.

Once you’ve set up the webhook, Stripe will navigate you to its dedicated page. Here, you’ll be able to copy both the webhook’s ID and the Signing secret.

![Webhook created in Stripe](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/new-webhook.png)Find the webhook’s ID displayed on the top-right of the page. Simply click on it to copy.

![Copy webhooks ID](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/copy-webhook-ID.png)After copying the webhook ID, return to your WPForms settings and paste it into the **Webhooks Live ID** field.

![Webhooks Live ID field](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/webhooks-live-id.png)Next, head back to your Stripe account and, under the **Signing secret** heading, click on **Reveal**.

![Click Reveal under Signing secret](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/reveal-signing-secret.png)After revealing the Signing secret, copy its value and paste it into the **Webhooks Live Secret** field within your WPForms settings.

After setting up Stripe webhooks with WPForms, your payment statuses will sync in real time between WPForms and Stripe. This also allows you to manage refunds and renew subscriptions directly from WPForms, without frequently accessing the Stripe dashboard. If you wish to view specific events triggered by the webhook, visit the [webhooks page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks) in your Stripe dashboard.

For more details on refunds, renewals, and understanding payment statuses, refer to our guide on [viewing and managing form payments](https://wpforms.com/docs/viewing-and-managing-payments/).

That’s it! Now you know how to set up Stripe webhooks with WPForms.
