Confirm if Stripe Webhook Signing Secret process I followed is correct

[jakeatencio]

The documentation for getting the signing secret for the strip webhook is outdated and was therefore unnecessarily confusing. Stripe’s current Workbench flow has you choose events first, then continue to choose the destination type and paste the endpoint URL. So not seeing “Webhook” yet at the start is normal in the newer UI.

I used OpenAI Codex to sniff out what I needed to do, but I don’t know if it is correct.

I built the destination using the following event recommendations from Codex:
-charge.refunded
-customer.subscription.deleted
-customer.subscription.updated
-invoice.paid
-invoice.payment_succeeded

From there I proceeded to get the signing secret. Is this correct?

Thank you for reporting this. Looks like Stripe has updated their UI. I have just updated the documentation to so it matches closely with the current Stripe UI:

https://simple-membership-plugin.com/sca-compliant-stripe-subscription-button/#create-a-webhook-in-your-stripe-account

Here is the documentation for creating a Stripe webhook:
https://simple-membership-plugin.com/create-a-webhook-in-your-stripe-account/

Here is the documentation for configuring webhook signing secret:

Let me know if this is helpful.
