# Webhook Configuration ### What is a webhook? Webhooks allow Stripe to send notifications to your website when certain events occur. For example, if a payment is refunded in Stripe, Stripe can automatically send a notification to your webhook to let your website know. ### How to setup a webhook? 1. In your Stripe dashboard, click Developer -> [Webhooks](https://dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks), then click the Add endpoint button.

2. To get the endpoint URL, go back to the **Setting** tab in your WordPress dashboard and you should see a field labeled `Webhook URL`. Copy the URL or click the copy icon.

3. Paste the endpoint URL into the dialog box in your Stripe dashboard.

4. Add the below events to listener ``` charge.succeeded charge.failed charge.captured charge.refunded charge.refund.updated checkout.session.completed checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded checkout.session.async_payment_failed checkout.session.expired payment_intent.payment_failed payment_intent.succeeded payment_intent.amount_capturable_updated payment_intent.requires_action ```

### Enable Webhook signatures (Strongly recommended) Generating a signature for the webhook can greatly protect your endpoint from being abused by external parties. In your Stripe dashboard, go to the webhook settings and click the `Signing secret` button to generate a signature.

Go back to plugin settings and paste to the webhook secret field in the **Settings** tab

### Webhook Connection Test First of all, let's do some payments with our plugin under test mode, then go to the webhook URL and find any events such as a payment\_intent.succeeded. Now click the \`Resend\` button to trigger the event again.

If the response is 200 (OK), our plugin will process the event and display a connected status in the Webhook URL field.
