I’ve created my Webhook by following YouTubes but I’m stuck because the interface seems to have been updated and I don’t have the option I need.
He has a “Send Test Webhook” button. Can anyone tell me where it is? I feel it’s probably staring at me in the face but I just can’t see it.
This is what I get on my screen…no button…
Also, do I need the “Stripe CLI” for creating and managing Webhooks? It keeps offering me links to download it but I have no idea what it is and it looks horrible as I’m really not a coder (which is why I’m here).
I’d so appreciate any help.
It doesn’t exist anymore (they removed it about a year ago)…
So, instead, you’ll need to trigger the event some other way…
To trigger a subscription.created event you can simpley create a subscription in your app (or create a test page just for the purpose of triggereing the event).
To trigger a subscription.updated event, you can either do the same thing (i.e. create a test page to update the scubscription) or you might be able to use Stripe’s Test Clocks feature to skip ahead in the subscription cycle and trigger different types of event with that.

No… I use Stripe Webhooks extensively, and have never used the Stripe CLI .

Thank you so much! It’s a relief to know I’m not going nuts at quite the rate I suspected I was! I’ll try and trigger it another way.
And thanks for the heads up about CLI too. That’s one less thing to be concerned about - my brain panics when it has to learn anything that looks vaguely tricky.
Have a lovely afternoon.
All the best
Joe
