How to test Stripe webhooks locally

Testing Stripe webhooks usually means waiting for events you can't see. With RelayFox you get a URL to paste into Stripe, watch events arrive live, and forward them to your local server.

1. 1
   Create a free RelayFox URL on the homepage (no signup needed).
2. 2
   Paste it as your webhook endpoint: Stripe Dashboard → Developers → Webhooks → Add endpoint.
3. 3
   Trigger an event (e.g. checkout.session.completed) and watch it arrive live in RelayFox.
4. 4
   Run the CLI to forward captured events to your local server:

   npx relayfox forward <endpoint-id> --to http://localhost:3000 --token rfx_...

5. 5
   Inspect headers, body and replay any event as many times as you need.

RelayFox preserves the Stripe-Signature header when forwarding, so Stripe's signature verification works against your local server unchanged.
