Stripe / Cashier Webhooks

@illmatic Check out this video... explains it all.

Thanks @fylzero this was very helpful. But just to be clear, do I need to handle the recommended webhooks in my app or is that automatically handled by Cashier? I see my tables get updated when I create a new subscription but I'm not sure if these events are the same.

customer.subscription.updated
customer.subscription.deleted
customer.updated
customer.deleted
invoice.payment_action_required

@illmatic Read the Laravel documentation on this. No, cashier does not setup your webhooks for you. The video and documentation explain what this is for and how to set it up.

@fylzero Well based on this... https://medium.com/@taylorotwell/cashier-8-0-webhook-improvements-b51e4d57ec7 there is indication these webhooks are integrated into the package.

The question is now do I still need to do extra configuration such as defining the routes? If I use the Spatie package will I screw up the default configuration?

For me the biggest impact is understanding if

1. on trial completion, will the subscriptions table automatically update the stripe_status appropriately? Is this handled automatically by cashier or is a customer.subscription.updated event emitted via webhook?
2. If a card fails on renewal

Has anyone used Cartalyst? It appears they handle more events https://cartalyst.com/manual/stripe-billing-laravel/11.x#events50 but I could be wrong.

OK I may have answered my own Q. Digging through the repo I found the controllers, routes, and other source files. https://github.com/laravel/cashier

The webhook path to set in Stripe is if using Cashier 10 domain.com/stripe/webhook

Then update the route to

Route::get('payment/{id}', 'PaymentController@show')->name('payment');
Route::post('webhook', 'WebhookController@handleWebhook')->name('webhook');

Wish the docs were clearer! This may help someone.
