To test Stripe webhooks locally, install the Stripe CLI, run stripe login, then run stripe listen --forward-to localhost:4242/webhook. The CLI prints a whsec_ signing secret; put it in your server's environment and fire test events with stripe trigger. You do not need a public URL or a tunnel for this.

This guide walks through the full loop: forwarding, triggering, verifying the signature, and the mistakes that make verification fail. The commands and behavior come from Stripe's documentation, read on 7 November 2026.
