I've used http://www.ultrahook.com/faq for connecting to hooks from my local VM before.

Cashier / Stripe webhook testing locally in homestead box
Hi
I have created a webhook as detailed in the cashier docs: http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/billing#handling-failed-payments
and I have added a webhook URL within my stripe.com account settings.
When I run a test webhook within stripe.com it always returns a 503 error. As it obviously cant find the URL defined ( as being used locally - my-domain-name.dev ) .
Do i have to upload the dev site to a live server to test the webhooks or is there an easier way?
Thanks.

@KMountford Thanks. I have actually implemented a similar solution myself using port forwarding. It turns out that using my ip in combination with the port forwarding on my router was enough to get it to work. I just use ip in place of my-domain-name.dev on stripe.com or as I have set up a subdomain on my hosting account for one of my domain names I am using that to reroute to my ip and is much easier to remember :)

Hmm, clever! I'm not lucky enough to have an ISP that gives me a static IP unfortunately but can see how that'd work well. Glad you got it working.

@appnorth Was it you who I helped with that? Remember your username from a thread about that.
@KMountford Don't need a static IP, use a service that updates the A record for you :) something like noip.com

@bashy I have posted about it in the past when I was setting it up. It took a bit of setting up but great now it works.

Maybe you'll find this package interesting. It simulates a post request with event data to a desired url, no matter if its local or not. It's meant to be used in unit tests for testing your webhook endpoints
