Forward Stripe Events To Local Server

Stripe offers a robust test mode for developing and testing your app with a payments sandbox.

The Stripe CLI has a listen command that can be used to foward any and all Stripe events from the test account to a locally running server.

Assuming you've installed the stripe CLI, you can run a command like the following to forward all events to your local server.

$ stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/hooks

While this is running you'll see incoming events and your servers outgoing responses.

If you'd like to filter down to receive specific events, you can use the --events flag.
