Webhook configuration

Without this, paid invoices stay marked "sent." With it, they auto-flip to paid.

What's a webhook?

When a client completes payment on Stripe, Stripe sends an HTTP POST to your Invoicely server saying "transaction X just succeeded." Invoicely receives it, looks up the matching invoice, and marks it paid.

Setup (5 minutes)

1

Stripe Dashboard → Developers → Webhooks → Add endpoint

dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks

2

Endpoint URL

Use the URL shown in your Invoicely Settings → Stripe section. It looks like:

https://invoicely.live/wp-json/ivl/v1/webhook/1
3

Events to listen for

Select checkout.session.completed only. Don't add others — Invoicely doesn't process them.

4

Click "Add endpoint"

Stripe creates the endpoint and shows the signing secret.

5

Reveal & copy the signing secret

Click "Reveal" — it starts with whsec_. Copy the full string.

6

Paste into Invoicely

Settings → Stripe → Webhook Secret → paste → Save.

Verifying it works

From Stripe Dashboard → your webhook → "Send test webhook" → pick "checkout.session.completed" → Send.

You should see "200 OK" response in Stripe. If you see 4xx or 5xx, the secret might be wrong. Re-paste it carefully.
