Integrating Stripe Webhooks

Overview

Stripe webhooks require raw request bodies for signature verification. Most web frameworks parse JSON automatically, breaking verification. This skill provides framework-specific solutions for the raw body problem and documents common TypeScript type mismatches.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Getting "Raw body not available" errors from Stripe webhooks
• Webhook signature verification fails with 400 errors
• Implementing new Stripe webhook endpoints
• Getting TypeError: Cannot read property 'current_period_start' from subscription events
• Webhooks return 404 (route registration issues)

Don't use for:

• General Stripe API integration (not webhooks)
• Frontend Stripe Elements implementation
• Stripe checkout session creation (use Stripe docs)
