Stripe Webhook Sandbox Tester
Trigger, sign, replay, and debug Stripe webhook events locally—then verify signature handling, HTTP behavior, and idempotency defenses with a structured test report.

Stripe Webhook Sandbox Tester
Example session with this skill installed
Test my local Stripe webhook handler at
Start with
invoice.payment_failed
Requirements
- use Stripe CLI if available for a realistic sandbox event;
- also run a deterministic locally signed fixture;
- verify a valid signature is accepted;
- test wrong secret, modified body, missing signature, malformed signature, and stale timestamp;
- replay the same event ID three times to test idempotency behavior;
- capture HTTP status codes and response bodies;
- inspect server logs if available;
- do not use live-mode API keys;
- do not modify production Stripe data.
Generate a Markdown test report and JSON results.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the stripe webhook sandbox
Stripe webhook test complete
Endpoint: http://localhost:4242/webhook
Primary event: invoice.payment_failed
Official Stripe CLI test: PASS
Local signed-fixture test: PASS
Signature test cases: 6
Replay attempts: 3
Signature verification matrix
| Test | HTTP | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Valid signature | 200 | PASS |
| Wrong secret | 400 | PASS |
| Modified body | 400 | PASS |
| Missing signature | 400 | PASS |
| Malformed signature | 400 | PASS |
| Stale timestamp | 400 | PASS |
Replay / idempotency test
Event ID: evt_test_invoice_payment_failed_001
| Attempt | HTTP | Application result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 200 | Event processed |
| 2 | 200 | Duplicate ignored |
| 3 | 200 | Duplicate ignored |
Observed side effect: 1 database transition
Idempotency status: PASS
Issue discovered
The handler originally failed valid Stripe CLI events because JSON middleware parsed the body before signature verification.
Recommended fix:
Ensure the webhook route receives the raw request body before JSON parsing middleware mutates it.

These tests validate the local webhook contract and defensive behavior. Use Stripe CLI or sandbox events for end-to-end Stripe-generated event testing before production deployment.

About this skill
The problem
Stripe webhook failures often come from raw-body handling, wrong endpoint secrets, signature verification, retries, or duplicate delivery.
Debugging those cases manually slows down payment and subscription development and can leave important failure paths untested.
What it does
Stripe Webhook Sandbox Tester creates a repeatable local test harness for Stripe webhook handlers.
- Uses official Stripe CLI local forwarding
- Triggers realistic sandbox/test events
- Sends deterministic locally signed synthetic fixtures
- Tests valid, wrong-secret, modified-body, missing, malformed, and stale signatures
- Replays the same event ID to exercise idempotency defenses
- Captures HTTP statuses and response bodies
- Produces structured JSON and Markdown test reports
- Helps diagnose raw-body and signing-secret mistakes
- Keeps webhook secrets in environment variables instead of source code
Why this beats prompting it yourself
A normal chat can explain how Stripe webhooks work.
This skill actually orchestrates the test loop:
Choose Event → Trigger / Send → Verify Signature → Replay → Capture Response → Inspect Idempotency → Report
Official CLI + deterministic tests
Stripe CLI is preferred for realistic Stripe-generated sandbox/test fixtures.
Locally signed synthetic payloads are used for deterministic edge cases, signature failures, and replay testing.
Safe by design
The skill does not require live-mode API keys for normal testing and does not modify production Stripe data.
## Use cases - Debugging 403 Forbidden errors during Stripe signature verification. - Ensuring your database doesn't create duplicate orders on webhook retries. - Simulating specific event types without manually clicking through the Stripe Dashboard. - Verifying local webhook handlers in a CI-like local environment. ## Known limitations Requires a running local server. Cannot verify actual database state changes automatically; it relies on HTTP response codes and logs for idempotency reporting.How to install
