Hi @Evgen_Dyudyunov,

Thanks for re-tagging me, and sorry I didn’t see your first post, I don’t know why I didn’t see the notification. Please feel welcome to tag me in `#ecommerce` in the Open edX Slack if I am unresponsive in the future.

The Stripe webhook endpoint is work we had underway to migrate [the new Stripe Payment Intents payment processor in ecommerce](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/ecommerce-changes-to-stripe-payment-processor/9457) to support asynchronous payment methods.

That work got re-prioritized, so right now this is preparatory development for a future feature.

For more information on the related Stripe feature, please see:

> **[Triggering actions with webhooks](https://stripe.com/docs/payments/handling-payment-events)**
>
> How to use webhooks to respond to offline payment events.

> **[Use incoming webhooks to get real-time updates](https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks)**
>
> Listen for events on your Stripe account so your integration can automatically trigger reactions.

I’ll also raise this to my team in case I missed any information.

Hope this helps!

Best,  
Phil
